http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/results/president/ Go to this website so you can see the states that went Obama and McCain.

As we all know red states are representing Republicans (McCain) and the blue states are representing Democrats (Obama). When you look the map you can see that Senator McCain won a lot of states with few electoral vote. For example he won Montana which only had 3 votes. These kinds of votes doesn't make a big impact in the election. But, on the plus side he did win Texas with 34 votes. Obama won major states like California, Florida, and New York. These states were the most important to win in the election At the end of the election Obama had 349 electoral votes and 62,680,702 popular votes. McCain only had 162 electoral votes and 55,542,743 popular vote. Good job Senator Obama! By Jenna
