First order of business, this blog needs a new name. Tech and Teens is getting on my nerves, if anyone has any suggestions post them in the comments, it would be helpful.
Yes, I know I’m a little late posting. I had a 3 hour long test this morning, and I had a pet problem. On to the real news:

Welcome to T and T, your not number one source for post-election coverage. Have you been living under a rock for the past week, then you need to know that Obama won! Yes, we now have a democratic president, though I would like to also say that McCain led a great campaign, kudos to him.

Obama won by alot, 364 (electoral votes) to 163. As known you need only 270 electoral votes. McCain lost in the popular vote by only 8,000,000. This was one of the MOST exciting elections in the past 4 years. But seriously folks, states that hadn’t voted for the democrats in over 40 years. For the first time in who knows how long the 10 most educated (based on people graduating from college) states all voted the same way(democratic).

The economy going down did not help either candidates. Since it happened so close to the election Obama and McCain had to quickly come up with a game plan.

News Coverage: this was done for about 2 years before the actual election. Some was good, some was bad, a lot of it was warped. Tip for the future: don’t believe everything you see on the news.

The Election Awards: These are awards for the best and worst things in the campaigns:

Most repetitive: John “The Maverick” McCain. Why? Because the word maverick was used more times in the past 3 months than ever in history.

Most Unnecessary news coverage: Sarah Palin, we heard a lot about her, a lot we didn’t need to know. Too many people saying she was a bad running mate. There were no bad running mates, they all tried to get the people’s vote.

Most below the radar: Joe Biden. I didn’t here much about him.

Most overused word: Change. Yes, we need change, but there are other words. Reforming for example.

Most important issue: economy.

Funniest coverage of election: Comedy Central’s Indecision 2008.

Most Serious coverage: CNN: Election Night.

On to our current president (Obama is president-elect until January 20) George W. Bush. He has grown a bad reputation, he made mistakes, he made some good things happen, now he gets to enjoy a position many people call the “lame duck”. Bush basically only needs to fill the slot until inauguration day. He doesn’t make any really important positions, he enjoys the perks of being the president.

I do not wish to say anyone did a bad job during this election season. I could never be able to last that long getting that much media attention. So that concludes my poor coverage of the past election.

Have any ideas for what I should do next week? Post below!
