Acceptance Speech

By admin | Published: November 4, 2008
Barack Obama has always made very moving speeches and this one was no different. He manages to get the crowd to cheer wildly and always maintains a very positive attitude. He has a JFK like ability to get the crowd going and really move people.

McCain speech

Hopefully people on both sides of the political spectrum will accept the challenge put forth by McCain to work together in the future.  His concession speech is proof that we can act like rational adults when we debate the issues that face our country.

I have recently looked at the prediction markets for the next president. They are supposed to be very accurate and they have predicted the correct presidential candidate for as long as they have been around. I’m eager to find out if they will be accurate again.

Interesting Trend

By admin | Published: November 4, 2008
