Reflection

Yes I'm satisfied with the election. I think its time for changes and i think Obama will make good ones.I would keep the electoral vote because it is fair and it is faster to find out who will be president. I was really close, i didn't know what one state chose out of the candidates.
Yes the Gallup polls influenced me that Obama was going to win. I did the Gallup polls on age and gender and it showed that Obama was more popular.

This political cartoon is funny because the U.S. is happy that Obama is the new president. The cartoon also shows that Bush is not happy because everyone is glad that he is leaving and every thing he decided is going to change.

I am satisfied with the election because Obama will make good changes and I think hes going to be a good president for the U.S.

I would keep the electoral college because I still think it works really well and it has for over 200 years. So why change it now?

I was 3 off from the map prediction I was pretty close. Things that changed were because of 3 states I didn't guess for Florida was one and 2 of the states I didn't color yet because they were still unsure.

No the gallup poll didn't influence my prediction because I did a gallup poll on age and then one on race and I didn't predict what age would make Obama president or what race would.
