Barack
Obama Wins 2008 Presidential Election |
Barack
Obama only needed 270 electoral votes to
win the 2008 U.S. Presidential election,
but he found enough supporters to earn him
over 340 votes in the electoral college.
Conventional swing states like Ohio and
Florida voted early in Obama's favor and
he even managed to win over historically
republican states like Virginia and Indiana.
His lead came early on Tuesday, November

closings, Obama solidified his place as
the 44th President of the United States
and the first African-American to sit in
the Oval Office.
