The lingering recession and protracted war during the presidency of George W. Bush had left many Americans looking for change and hope. Barack Obama was able to capitalize on this sentiment, along with his strong support among young voters, which helped him win the presidential election of 2008. His choice of Joe Biden as vice president was also an important factor in his victory. However, the choice of young, energetic Sarah Palin was actually made by his opponent, John McCain, and did not contribute to Obama's win. Additionally, while Obama did have some support from white voters, it was not a majority, and he did not have particularly strong support among senior citizens.
