And Now For The Main Event

By Amy Yensi--

Its just before 9 P.M. and the big "flip" that all the pundits were saying was necessary to win the presidency for either candidate has not happened yet. So far the red states and blue states have gone for the candidate of the party they usually support, as have the so called leaning states.

Although nothing dramatic has happened to the electoral map, today has still been an emotionally charged today. In the subways, the streets, the stores, and everywhere in between, people are talking about the election. What's even more impressive is the degree of knowledge that people have. I have never heard so many people talking about swing states and how important independent voters will be to tonight's outcome, amongst other things. Yes the world is paying attention, but what's even more amazing is to the degree that America is paying attention.
