- Episode Description
- The 2008 presidential election has been one of the most exciting in US history. In this continuation of Basic Black's special election coverage, our guests return to assess Election Day results. Joining guest host Callie Crossley are Massachusetts State Representative Linda Dorcena Forry, former ABC News anchor and senior correspondent Carole Simpson, Peniel Joseph, associate professor of Africana studies at Brandeis University, and Howard Manly, executive editor of the Bay State Banner. We look at how the press covered John McCain's and Barack Obama's campaigns and early media polling vs. the actual Election Day outcome. Did the "Bradley effect" take hold in states predicting an Obama win? Were significant numbers of voters swayed by speculative reports concerning Obama's race, religion, or patriotism or doubts about electing McCain, the oldest presidential candidate in US history? Also, what does the world think of America's choice for president? What does Obama's win mean for US foreign relations and our standing in the world?
