Election Postscript: Obama wins, how he got there

By now we know that Obama has won the US presidential election, defeating McCain/Palin.  Here are 2 significant factor why Obama won.  One, he broke his promise on campaign finance (to raise a lot more $ than McCain) and accepted millions of dollars from illegal, untraceable donors.  Second, the polls were tremendously skewed in the weeks leading up to the election, to give the public the impression that more people were supporting Obama.  An example of this is in how the Associated Press (AP) changed its poll sample "recipe" to favor Obama weeks after the Republican National Convention.

Here is the video on CNN about Obama's broken promise on campaign finance.
