Obama clearly the only viable choice of the two "finalists". A lot of coverage on Palin. Very, very little was written about Biden, so little in fact that he remains very obscure figure to me at least. McCain came across as an elderly war veteran. And of course the unfortunate photo three or four days prior to election (the one with the tongue...). Poor McCain. I wonder how much that really cost him in votes.
