your eyes open, your heart at peace
and your soul in the joy of Christ.”

November Elections

November 5, 1968


Americans went to the polls on November 5, 1968 to choose between Richard Nixon, Hubert Humphrey, and George Wallace as the next president. Their choice was made against the backdrop of an unpopular war and a hunger for change.

The 1968 Electoral College map shows the familiar delineation of RED States (Republican) and BLUE States (Democrat) along with the YELLOW States (Wallace).

Americans went to the polls on November 4, 2008 to choose between Barack Obama and John McCain as the next president. Their choice was made against the backdrop of an unpopular war and a hunger for change.

A historic day for the United States. Republicans and Democrats can all think well of their country in light of the significant step they have made today. (click map for details)

"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek." Barack Obama
