Americans Go to the Polls

Americans are lining up today at polling stations across the country to elect the next president of the United States. Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Barak Obama (D-IL) have been criss-crossing the country campaigning for the highest position in the land and around the world for the last nearly two years.  
 
Americans voted in record numbers in the primary elections and now look poised to do the same in the general election. In fact, they already have. In more than 30 states, early voting began several weeks ago, and it has not been uncommon to see large lines snaking around entrances to libraries, community centres and other voting locations. 
 
If there is one thing that can confidently be said, it is that Americans are ready for this election.
