Poll 3: What made Mr Obama the next US president?


Inspired by the outcome of the US presidential elections, I was curious to see which were the biggest advantages of Sen. Barack Obama's campaign. My visitors were able to choose one or more of the following answers:

a) His charisma and skin color
b) The current economic situation
c) His intention to make education more accessible
d) His intention to create reduce the jobs outsourcing tendency
e) His choice for running mate, Joe Badin
f) John McCain's choice for running mate, Sarah Palin

Answers b) and c) were equally chosen the most. Here is my interpretation: The current economic situation obviously showed to people the inability of the current government to deal with the situation, which made US citizens look for and believe in other promises and solutions. The choice for running mate Joe Badin was also an immensely important step due to the significant political experience of Joe Badin. This was suited perfectly Mr Obama's profile because he has been discussed to be not experienced enough in foreign policy. Together they made a really strong candidacy, especially targeted for middle class Americans. Together they seem to be able to get things done. People believed that CHANGE CAN HAPPEN!
