After months of endless polling, Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton finally proved that the polls didn't lie. Although at the humble origins of the campaign, political analysts predicted a Bush landslide, the tables were turned Tuesday night. Bill Clinton and Tennessee Senator A1 Gore scored early in the electoral college to dash the President's hopes for a second term. "The American people have voted to make a new beginning," said Clinton in his victory speech as the 42nd prcsident-elect. The late-night unofficial returns showed numbers of virtual "landslide" proportions. Clinton gathered 31 stales and the District of Columbia with 349 total electoral votes. Bush was able to collect 15 slates, including North Carolina by one percentage point and his adopted home state of Texas, with only 83 total electoral voles. Independent candidate Ross Perot was unable lo carry a single stale, but won more of the popular vote than many polls had previously predicted. The Democratic victory was clinched after characteristically Republican Ohio cast their 31 electoral votes toward the Clinlon- Gore ticket, pushing them over the required 270 electoral votes Jack Duval/The Pendulum necessary to win. Shortly after the polls closed in the west. President Bush conceded defeat at his headquaners in Houston, graciously passing the torch to his opponent. "America has got to come first and we will wish him well," Bush said. "We have fought the good fight, we have kept the failh and I believe that I have upheld the honor of the presidency." Wild card Perot gave up early, but called himself a "grain of sand" in the political oyster, while many continue lo speculate about Sec Election, Page 4 Election gets mixed reactions Allison Cooke The Pendulum In the wake of ihe landslide victory for presidcnt-elcci Bill Clinton, Americans across the country and Elon students alike have entered a new era.

Senior Ashley Pippin, a staunch Republican, said she was devastated by the outcome of the elections. "I feel sorry for the counuy," Pippin said. "(Clinton's win) is going to affect the country economically and internationally. It's going 10 be tax and spend just like it was with Jimmy Carier." Concerns like Pippin's will echo from other Bush supporters across the country. However, comments from the Clinton spectrum will be heard as well.
