The eyes of the world will be on the United States elections tonight, and the DR is no exception. The historic race between Democratic candidate Barack Obama and Republican candidate John McCain will come to an end today with US voters choosing either the first African-American president or the first female vice president in the country's 232-year history. In the closing days of the election campaign the Dominican media has increased its coverage, demonstrating the election's importance, with radio and television explaining details to Dominicans, who might otherwise not be aware of the significance of these elections. The election has become a topic of conversation around the dinner table, with many Dominicans throwing their support for the Junior Senator from Illinois, Obama.
The DR1 thread on this very same topic has also garnered intense traffic with more than 200 pages and 2,000 posts since October: www.dr1.com/forums/general-stuff/... (http://www.dr1.com/forums/general-stuff/80498-us-presidential-race-enough-already.html)
