Presidential Election Wrap-Up

moment1105.jpg

Political analyst Nick Ragone was here to talk about last night's presidential election. As Ragone predicted, Barack Obama won the election by a landslide. He said we can expect to hear names for Obama's cabinet, such as Secretary of the Treasury. Ragone also stated that typically a president-elect's transition chief usually becomes his chief of staff.

What surprised Ragone was that John McCain won Missouri, and typically the candidate who wins this state also takes the White House. Ragone believes that McCain truly wants Obama to do well, and his consession speech was moving and emotional.

There was also talk about Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin running for office in 2012. However, she faces potentially stronger candidates like former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. She is also not guaranteed relection to her governor seat and she may also consider to run for the Senate.
