UPDATE (11pm ET) – It’s Barack Obama; the 44th President and first African American to be elected Chief Executive.
It’s Republican Senator John McCain vs. Democratic Senator Barack Obama to determine the next President of the United States… and we’ll post results here once the major news organizations start calling it… in [...]
