As change and a new dawn of leadership are promised by United States president elect Barack Obama, a local academic has been reflecting on what he calls "a fascinating campaign".
Deputy principal of the Isle of Man College Professor Ronald Barr, a lecturer in American and British history, says there’s little surprise Obama snatched the key battleground states from John McCain to become the country's first black president.
On Mandate this morning, Professor Barr told Manx Radio it was a remarkable victory, but he also warned tough times lay ahead:
DoI to change rent-setting model for public sector housing
Candidates could need to declare interests to stand in 2026 General Election
Customs and Excise office to relocate
Douglas man convicted in Island's 'most complex child abuse image investigation'
