presidential election

Yesterday was election day. Citizens voted for the next president of the United States. Running for the election of president were John McCain and Barack Obama. Their running mates were Sarah Palin (McCain) and Joe Biden (Obama). This election had a big voter turnout. Many people showed up to vote because this election was very important. There are very many serious issues and all who voted were a part of history. For the first time an African American was running for president and a woman was running vice president. This election will be a very significant part of history.
