Voting has begun in the States to a backdrop of pollsters and bookies heavily backing an Obama victory despite the election being the first to feature a black candidate.
Obama victory parties are springing up across the world, despite that voting doesn't close in most places until much later tonight. Such is the desire for an Obama Whitehouse that US police are preparing for riots if McCain somehow comes through. Obama himself has remain stoical and said just one word on today's event to a raucious rally in Virginia: "Tomorrow."
The Democratic candidate is fully aware there are issues involved in this election which have never needed be factored in before, and the main one of those is race. Many still believe a black man cannot win the Whitehouse [check any comments page on any Obama related news story] and attitudes like Pat Buchanan's here don't help. A New York poster ad which has taken-off in the last few days aims to knock the debate dead (at least in the city - if it is even an issue there).
It's a very good message and a great piece of Photoshopping by a little politico somewhere. It would have been a very different election if the roles were reversed but with luck the US people have finally done something worthy and voted on the policies, not the colour.

Thats one weird looking whiteboy... I reckon the UK need to start getting more progressive nowadays seeing that we've fallen behind the US
