“Yes, we can! Yes we can!”. We can barely hear the television now at the Palais M. People are dancing and shouting: “Obama! Obama!”. Something’s in the air. CNN announces that Barack Obama is at home with his family, playing basketball.
Even if Wyoming, West Virginia and North Dakota have been taken by the Republican Senator, Obama keeps the advantage with 194 electoral votes against 69 for McCain. Each time there’s a new projection, people are making a countdown together. It seems like Democrats now strongly believe in Barack Obama’s victory. Ohio will go to Obama, a huge win for the Democrats. The Palais M. is now on fire. CNN now suggests that John McCain will not go far enough to win this presidential election. It’s just a question of time before Obama’s victory according to Democrats here. Louisiana goes to McCain but another swing state is taken by Obama: New Mexico.
