day of hope, change and optimism

The day everyone in the world has been waiting for has finally arrived. After eight years of divisive Bush policies, many Americans and people from all over the world see today as the day of hope. Many see today as the day of opportunity for the most-influential-country-in-the-world to open a new chapter with a clear direction of change and optimism.

The voter turn out for the recent Canadian federal election was a sad 59.1%: the lowest in Canadian history. Conversely, with the high energy of Obama-mania, the economic crisis, and the yearning for change, the United States can see one of the highest voter turnouts in history.

Don't let others shape your future, as Mahatma Gandhi once said, "Be the change you want to see in the world". So I encouarge all my American friends, family and colleagues to go out and vote and volunteer!

I personally have optimistic hope that positive and real change is coming to the US. Here are my predictions for tonight:

President
MCCAIN- 185
OBAMA - 353 (Kerry States + NV, CO, NM, IA, OH, VA, NC, FL)

Senate
DEM - 58 (Dem incumbents + AK-Begich, OR-Merkley, NH-Shaheen, NC-Hagan, CO-M.Udall, NM-T.Udall, VA-Warner)
GOP - 42

House
DEM - 251
GOP - 184
