When the weekend passed, the 1992 US presidential election was finally approaching.
The game, which lasts for several months, will finally come to an end on November 3.
Although rose Perot, as an independent candidate, had 20% support in the previous survey, the ruling pattern of the two parties in the United States has not changed. The result of this year's election will still be selected from the two major party candidates.
However, compared with the situation that independent candidates can only serve as a foil for many years in the past, rose Perot's support rate in this US presidential election has also made both parties quite alert.
Monday passed in the blink of an eye.
In order to facilitate the public to vote, on November 3, American universities, primary and secondary schools basically had a day off, and many enterprises also gave their employees half a day off.
Simon is still not going to vote in person in this election.
It's not like being surrounded by the media, and it doesn't want to cause any public opinion effect.
So Simon arrived in San Francisco the day before the election.
Igritte portal will conduct a 24-hour webcast of the election. As an event type traffic news that can greatly enhance the website's attention, the whole igritte company attaches great importance to it and has started to prepare one month in advance.
Simon and his assistant woke up in Woodside's mountain villa shortly before four o'clock on Tuesday morning.
According to the voting management, polling stations across the United States are open at 6 a.m. and the deadline is 6 p.m., which lasts for 12 hours.
Arriving at igritte's headquarters in downtown Palo Alto, the brightly lit office building is already a busy scene.
Tim Berners Lee, Jeff Bezos and Carol Bartz, the three giants of igritte, have all appeared at the headquarters, and Bezos, who is mainly responsible for the network business, has been up all night. What the three people care about is not only the traffic brought to the website by the election itself, but also the significance of the election. Once Clinton wins the election, the federal domestic policy will be very biased towards the new technology field in the next few years, which is crucial to the rise of the Internet industry.
A group of senior executives gathered in an open conference room where they could see the staff working area, and the news and data related to the election were displayed on the projector in real time.
It's just over four o'clock on the west coast. It's past seven o'clock in the morning on the east coast. New Hampshire, the first state to vote, already has some early data.
Dixville, a small town in New Hampshire, was the first to open the vote. A total of 78 people participated in the voting. According to the preliminary statistics, George Bush: 23 votes; Bill Clinton: 39 votes; Rose Perot: 16 votes.
Bill Clinton is far ahead.
Although the voting result of a small town can not affect the overall situation, it does not prevent the media from giving this opening a different interpretation and significance.
For those who support Clinton, this clearly bodes well.
The igritte portal made headlines for the first time about the voting results in dixonville.
This is also a kind of public opinion guidance.
You know, people are blind followers. Seeing the voting results in a small town, many people may change their voting tendency in a moment.
The presidential election in the United States is a bit of an accumulation of tendencies.
Not only the igritte portal, but also CNN, which is inclined to the democratic camp, also reported the voting results in dixonville in real time.
Both the old CNN and the new igritte portal are important media platforms that can not be ignored in the United States. They have a strong influence on the tendency of news and public opinion.
Just as it happens, the two media platforms, compared with the traditional newspapers, have the real-time and powerful advantages.
As a result, when the two platforms reported the voting results of dixonville at the same time, it soon had a significant impact.
Across the Atlantic, the London Mercantile Exchange Brent crude oil futures began to shock downward.
As for how to defend, the Bush family represents the interests of the American oil class, which has pushed up the price of crude oil to a great extent.
The price of Brent crude oil futures fell, which is undoubtedly the most direct performance of Bill Clinton's leading in the election results of a small eastern town.
Both igritt portal and CNN are keen to catch the fluctuation of crude oil futures price and begin to report further.
Bill Clinton, who has set up an official blog in igritte portal in a very fashionable way, also made a thank-you speech on the voting results of Dixville town soon. After being officially ranked the top by igritte portal, it attracted a large number of comments from the public who also followed the election through the Internet.
A short blog post, half an hour, the number of messages exceeded 120000, which inevitably became a small news event, even CNN's real-time news were broadcast.
Of course, the Bush camp has to refute this.
However, compared with Bill Clinton, who keeps pace with the times, and because of the inclination of igritte portal during this period, the Bush camp did not open an official blog in igritte portal, so it can only refute the contribution of igritte portal and CNN to the voting results of a small town through a personal blog of a senior member of the campaign team.Although this blog is popular according to the popularity rules of blog, it has not been artificially placed at the top, so the degree of attention is naturally much lower.
When the sky lit up on the west coast, most of the states in the United States except Alaska and Hawaii started voting.
During the whole day, it will basically be the current news of both sides of the election and the comments of the surrounding expert media on various issues.
After breakfast at more than seven o'clock, Jeff Bezos and Carol Bartz also indicated that they would vote and leave temporarily. Tim Berners Lee, who is still British, did not join in the fun and returned to the headquarters to preside over the overall situation. Simon also took his female assistant with them, but instead of joining in with them, came to the headquarters to serve Simon A reserved office.
He leans back on the leather chair and looks at today's newspaper. When the female assistant turns on the computer and finishes sorting out the documents just sent by the staff, Simon reaches out his hand and takes the female assistant into his arms.
Jennifer glanced at the door, relieved to think that she had just locked the door.
Watching Simon take off her little high heel, curl up her legs, hide a pair of feet in silk stockings and divert the man's attention, he said: "the bill on lifting the ban on telecom operators from equipment manufacturing should have passed at the end of last month. Because of the igritte portal, it has been suppressed again. Do you think there will be any twists and turns?"
The female assistant's figure is very slim, so although she is tall, when she shrinks in Simon's arms, she has a kind of obvious little bird.
"It's not just the White House. If there is no accident, the Democratic Party will control both the house and the Senate at the same time. Even if Bush delays for a few more months and the transfer of power is completed, this matter will pass," Simon said
"But I don't think it's that easy," she said
Indeed, it won't be so simple. Even if George Bush steps down this time, the deep-rooted influence of the Bush family in American politics will not dissipate.
However, politics is nothing more than a game.
If we can't pass a bill that the whole industry is very inclined to lift the ban, it will be too incompetent.
Bill Clinton in particular.
This successful entry into the White House, whether in Hollywood or silicon valley, has given him great support.
It is impossible for the president to continue to maintain his political influence even after the end of his term if he fails to realize the benefits that these supporters deserve.
In this regard, according to the memory of Simon's previous life, Clinton is still a very trustworthy person.
They were talking when the door was knocked.
The assistant was startled. She jumped out of Simon's arms like a rabbit. Then she remembered that she had no shoes on.
He glared at the man, found his shoes, put them on, arranged his clothes, and ran to open the door.
It's Claire Gaines, and girl c is followed by another little tail named Jennifer.
Girl C didn't say anything unusual because of the blush on her assistant's face. She said hello to Simon and sat down on the sofa in the reception area. In order to avoid the little embarrassment, the female assistant took the initiative to prepare coffee.
Little Jennifer berry followed the figure of the female assistant out of the office, then drew back her attention and fell on the man in front of her.
Although on the surface, she looks restrained and clever, and in the deep of her beautiful blue eyes, little Jennie still has the little fanaticism when she rushed to the stage of Madonna's concert and rushed to the figure of a man.
It's like poisoning.
Every time she thinks about the chance to be with him every day in the future, Jennifer Bree sleeps excitedly.
However, she is also a very smart girl.
Understand that if you are too fanatical, it is likely to backfire.
As a result, she no longer looks like a fan of him. Of course, everything about him can be seen everywhere in her apartment bedroom, still showing a lot of things, but she never opens her bedroom to others.
Well, except for him.
At this time, facing the man in front of her, the girl couldn't help being distracted.
I can't help thinking about what he and another Jennie were doing in the office just now. It's obviously a very intimate thing. In the future, I will be able to do the same.
And then there are some uncontrollable emotions.
A few glances at him made the mood more turbulent.
Simon, however, looked helplessly at the red faced girl in front of him, chatted with girl C for a while about dinkbail, and finally couldn't help winking at her.
Claire noticed the reaction of the girl next to her, which was also funny.
Although the girl usually conceals very well, but, as an equally intelligent woman, Claire can certainly see through the little girl's details.I just didn't expect that the girl would suddenly show up at this time.
At this time, the door of the office was pushed open again, and the female assistant came in with coffee. For some reasons, girl C didn't want the female assistant to see little Jennie at this time, so she put her hand on the girl's waist, pinched her, and said to her ear, "Jane, you'd better wash your face."
When she was pinched by girl c, it hurt a little. Jennifer Britton also reacted to it. She stood up and said shyly, "hold me. I'm sorry. I'll go to the bathroom."
Then he got up and trotted out from the other side of the sofa.
The female assistant carefully held the coffee in her hand. Seeing the little girl leaving in a hurry, she didn't notice the blush on her face, so she was just a little curious and didn't ask much. She put the tray on the coffee table and began to share the coffee for everyone.
Little Jennie came back again, and everything was as usual.
However, seeing the female assistant sitting beside him, it is hard to avoid envy from the bottom of my heart.
We've talked about tincobail company. We've paid attention to the progress of the election from time to time. Time flies.
So it was four o'clock in the afternoon on the west coast and seven o'clock in the evening on the east coast.
The election time of some states on the east coast has been closed for one hour, and the voting results have been basically released.
At 7:08 east coast time, Indiana, which was biased toward the U.S. headquarters, was the first to announce the results. George Bush won the first 12 electoral votes.
Indiana is close to the Great Lakes and belongs to the old heavy industrial zone of the United States. With the decline of the American automobile industry and the continuous downturn of the economy, Indiana is known as the rust belt, which is also the traditional voting position of the Republican camp.
The Bush camp won the first battle, but the excitement lasted only three minutes.
At 7:11, the news came again, and the results of New Hampshire's vote statistics came out. This time, Bill Clinton won and won his first four electoral votes.
However, after a series of eastern counties announced the election results, Bill Clinton, who failed to make a good start, made a counter attack all the way.
Maine, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Delaware
Almost all of the earlier New England regions fell to Bill Clinton, but George Bush had an absolute advantage in the last election.
Then, in the eastern and southern states, George W. Bush once again moved back to a lot of disadvantages. Except for Georgia, the Republican traditional southern vote warehouse, Florida, Alabama and so on, George W. Bush successfully won.
However, the southeast states have also become George Bush's only advantage.
The defeat began with the "rust belt" that made George Bush a good start.
For weeks in the Great Lakes region, the last election was red, but this time Indiana was the only one. Other states, such as Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and so on, all changed from red to blue.
When the eastern United States statistics came to an end, Bill Clinton had the absolute advantage.
Finally, around the early hours of west coast time, all the States and counties in the United States, including Hawaii, got the statistical results.
Bill Clinton won the 52nd U.S. presidential election with an absolute advantage of 370-163, and successfully ascended the White House.
