Washington, November 4, 2008 – IR Summary/Agencies/AFP (Despatch from California) –Charan Lal Sahu, Advocate Supreme Court of India, New Delhi, is once again surrounded by enthusiasts to know his comments on the election being held in America today.

Charan Lal Sahu : “This election in America may change the history in particular, the people seem to have risen above the race issue, they want to be practical and the majority of votes may go to Democrat Barack Obama seeking to become the first black president.

Mr. Sahu continues: “ If Obama is elected the President of America and this is likely to happen now, the voters would undoubtedly flash a political realignment in Washington, with Democrats aiming big gains in the Senate and House of Representatives after eight confused years under President George W. Bush.

“ Obama’s victory shall make America to write a new history in its democracy, which is going to show its true color by voting Obama to bring him to sit in White House instead of McCain. The Americans have exhibited the true spirit of democracy, they have disregarded religion and race by excelling him in national polls and the edge in a string of battleground states which could swing the election either way.”

Mr. Sahu, what do you think about financial storm in America?

Mr. Sahu: In the eye of the worst financial storm since the 1930s and with US troops embroiled in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,   Barack Obama and McCain both have vowed to restore the threadbare self-confidence of the world's lone superpower.
“Obama and McCain will be chasing the 270 electoral votes needed across the diverse state-by-state electoral map to take the White House. More than 100 million people are expected to march to the polls to add to 30 million advance votes already cast.

As per AFP “the tiny New Hampshire towns of Dixville Notch and Hart's Location played their traditional role of hosting the first Election Day voting just after midnight (0500 GMT). Obama won a majority of votes in both places.
Hours later, the rest of the United States were to follow, with first results not expected until 7:00 pm eastern time (2300 GMT).

Obama and McCain, one of whom will become the first sitting senator elected president since John F. Kennedy in 1960, careened to the finish line on Monday, with competing cross-country campaign blitzes.”

What shall be the political  difference in America?

Mr. Sahu quoted, “We are one day away from changing the United States of America," Obama, 47, said in Florida, before heading off to whip up crowds in North Carolina and Virginia, hoping to squeeze his rival on normally Republican territory.

Mr. Sahu said, " I don't think McCain stands any chance.

But McCain was defiant, vowing to confound pollsters and pundits and overcome a treacherous political map which has him struggling to cling to Republican bastions and on which one big loss could make Obama president.

Senator Obama, the son of a Kenyan father and white mother from Kansas, would become the first African American president, after a stunning rise to the pinnacle of US politics -- he was not even a US senator four years ago.In a sad turn of events Monday, Obama learned that Madelyn Dunham, the white grandmother who brought him up, had died in his native Hawaii from cancer, aged 86, quite sad.

I, Charan Lal Sahu, being the Vice President of the National Integration Assembly (NIA) on behalf of this World Peace Mission and also on behalf of its President, Dr. Raj Baldev, Cosmo Theorist, and the Indian people, stand by the side of Obama at this sad hour.
