Barack Obama Official Web Site Change.gov
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Internet,
Moving right along, Pres-elect Barack Obama already has his own new official site. Change.gov features a countdown to the inauguration, updates on what he is doing and asks for input on personal stories concerning the election and the road you took to get there. There is also information concerning his future policy, agenda and a page to apply for a gig in the new administration. Sadly, there is no news yet about the puppy, which Obama claims is the topic of about 50% of the emails he receives.
Oh, and for an added tidbit, Obama’s site runs on ExpressionEngine - the same publishing tool we use here to run Gear Live. We recommend it to anyone.

Tuesday Ratings: Noteworthy Numbers for Historic Evening
Although CW decided to broadcast new episodes of 90210 and Privileged last night, we’re going to ignore that network for just this week.
While it would be hard for anyone to deny the significance of last night’s presidential election, how many people were actually tuned in? Here’s some of the highlights from yesterday’s political coverage:
- Approximately 71.5 million watched the events unfold over 14 different networks. That’s a 16% increase from 2000’s contest between George Bush and Al Gore (61.6 million) and a 21% increase over 2004’s battle between Bush and Kerry (59.2 million).
- Of the 71.5 million, 38.13 million saw Barack Obama become the President-elect via the four major networks.
- ABC‘s 13.1 million viewers bested the competition Monday. (That was the Alphabet network’s first win since 1996.) NBC had been holding the title since the 2000 election.
- CNN‘s 12.3 million actually beat CBS and NBC for 2nd place. That was the cable channel’s largest audience in its 28-year-history. That number almost doubled what the network saw in 2004.

Hollywood Stands United Behind New President-Elect

“God knows I fought hard for the other side,” The View’s Elisabeth Hasselbeck admitted on-air. “Today is a victory for this country,” she even managed a smile. “No one lost today.” Her comments, a shade different than her rabid Republican rantings of episodes past, are similar to the words of other celebs who today are celebrating a page in history. Who, today, are celebrating the stunning victory of a man named Barack Obama. “I haven’t felt this good,” she poured out seemingly heartfelt joy for the new President-elect, the first Democrat to get into the White House since Bill Clinton - and she isn’t alone.
