A new President will be elected in the United States today. Barack Obama can already celebrate one small success: he won the vote in a small New Hampshire town that traditionally posts the earliest results because the residents are allowed to vote in the early minutes of election day. For the last 40 years, the Republican candidate has always emerged victorious. National surveys also point to a Republican defeat and victory for Obama, who also must deal with sad news. His grandmother in Hawaii passed away at the age of 86.

Obama erobert Republikaner-Hochburg in New Hampshire

Washington (dpa) - In den USA wird heute ein neuer Präsident gewählt. Einen ersten kleinen Erfolg konnte der demokratische Kandidat Barack Obama bereits feiern. Er gewann in einem kleinen Dorf in New Hampshire, wo traditionell schon in den ersten Minuten des Wahltages gewählt wird. Seit 40 Jahren hatten dort immer die Republikaner gesiegt. Auch US-weit sprechen die Umfragen gegen John McCain und für Obama. Der musste aber eine traurige Nachricht verarbeiten. Seine Großmutter auf Hawaii starb 86-jährig.
