RICHMOND, Va. -- Presidential electors have formally elected Barack Obama the nation's 44th president.
Electors gathering in state capitols across the country have pushed Obama above the 270 electoral votes needed to win, according to a tally by The Associated Press. Obama takes office Jan. 20, becoming the nation's first black president.
Monday's voting was a largely ceremonial procedure, but one mandated by the Constitution. Obama defeated Republican Sen. John McCain in the Nov. 4 election.
More than 131 million voters cast ballots -- the most ever in a presidential election. But Obama's election will not be complete until Congress tallies the outcome of Monday's Electoral College vote at a joint session scheduled for Jan. 6.

I thought for sure they tallied wrong and that Bob Barr actually won the presidency...

What would be the recourse if the electoral college just decided to go there own way and elect Mccain?I'm not sure what could be done.

BUT his mother is from Kansas so how could his citizenship be in question?Do you just repeat things you hear like a parrot without thinking?

I wasn’t a fan of either personally (Obama or McCain). But since Obama will be President, I will support him, just as I did with Bush (though I was not a fan of his either).

I really don't care. He is the president and I'm American therefore I fully support our new administration.
I hope he gets my stocks and funds up ASAP!
