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:
DHSC 'actively exploring' ways to increase ED capacity
MU completes work to tackle odour in Peel
Information Commissioner rules DESC mishandled FOI on lecturer contracts
Chamber urges voters to back candidates who will make Island a 'competitive international jurisdiction'
