Election Night
Believe it or not, this is my fifth presidential election here at CNN. Things have come a long way from dot-matrix printers to the "Magic Wall," but it's always an exciting (and sometimes very late) night. As a social studies teacher, Election Day would present a great "teachable moment" about voting and civic responsibility. But wouldn't it be great if voters, young and old, maintained this level of interest in politics every day?

Election day would be the most exciting day of all of America. I do not get to vote but my sister does. Alot of the times my dad would say that those presidents are just people who want to be presidents not really help the nation much.
I think it would also be a very exciting day but it is a very hard decision this year. I hope the person best suited for the job wins.
It would be great to have everyone so interested all the time, but I think people vote and feel like they did what they can and after that, what ever happens, there is nothing they can do about it so why bother?
It really would be great.
I am so happy Barack Obama is the next president. It's time for a dramatic change and I think he's the person that will actually work hard to make a difference. I support him all the way.
OBAMA WINS-–> AMERICAS CHANGE
HE IS WHAT WE AS A NATION NEED TO OVERCOME ALL PROBLEMS
HE IS OUR CHANGE
BARACK OBAM OUR NEW 44th PRESIDENT
THAT MAKES ME PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN
I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS MOMENT AS A 14YR OLD GIRL
WHEN OUR NATIONS HOPE FOR A BETTER WORLD CHANGED
I am watching the electon and I am really disapointed in America for making Barack Obama president!! I think McCain deserves to be president and had alot of better ideas! as I said, I am very disapointed!
I am very disappointed in America because Barack Obama does NOT have very much experience and some of his ideas aren't good at all. John McCain knows a lot more and would help our country way more. I am quite sad. 🙁
Go Obama!!! And it would be great!!! 😀 😛 🙂
Obama is the best
I think that us having an African American president is a great change and that it will get more voters interested in the economy.
yes election is exciting but we shouldn't think of it every day.... a lot of the time we just need to get away from the world
I am very surprised by the way that America voted for our new president. Obama does not have nearly the experience that McCain does, but I do think that it will be interesting to see some of the new outlooks from Obama on some subjects. I do think that McCain has better ideas for what he would have done. I really do not like a lot of the things that Obama supports but it is what it is.
o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah Obama is are president o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah o yeah and Joe Biden is are VP 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
Obama + president= GREAT STUFF FOR THE WORLD!!!
Simple Math problem. 🙂
hello student news shorty speaking i have an opinion about election night mmmm how can i put this GO OBAMA!!!!
I'm writing this from Japan, And one small town is going crazy about this election, this story was on Nov. 7th' headline so you might know this.
The town's name is Obama (this is really true), so everyone is supporting senator Obama, and they are doing it like some carnival.
I bet most of them don't really care about his politics.
I think they are really stupid, USA is the leading country in the world, and Japan is and always be effected by USA, so they must be more serious, it might effect their life, and they won't care. They are just looking at his name.
They should be more thoughtful. I think this is one reason Japan is having stupid leaders for long time.
IT was history
IT was history to me samson and the obama supporters
I am really happy that Obama won the election. I think that Mcain is to old to get the job done. I think That vp Sara Palin started to finally sound more intelegent after the race was over. Obama'08 is all that matters right
Cailie:)
i am happy that obama won but i also think that mcain would be a good president.. i am happy for obama.
Obama V.S Macain Obama is going to lower the taxes for mid-class people.Macain i have no clue want Macain wanted to to so..... I voted at my school Garcia for Obama not because of his skin color it because i like and care for what he wants to change !!!!!...In my mind Macain is going to do nothing different to change the world.....Obama will change the world... and theu would both made history Obama frist AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESDENT Macain the OLDEST PRESDENT...... WELL OBAMA WON SO GET OVER IT AND LIVE WITH IT
I THINK THAT PEOPLE JUST VOTE BECAUSE THE PEOPLE THINK THAT THEY ARE REALLY GOING TO DO WHAT THEY SAY AND THAT THEY ARE REALLY GOING TO TAKE THE TAXES DOWN,BUT THEY CAN'T BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY SPENDING WAY TO MUCH MONEY ANYWAY.
I went Out and got to campaigm for Obama With my mom and miss school!
It was very exciting
