This is actually a kind of public opinion guidance.

People have the mentality of blind obedience. Seeing the voting results of the small town and the related risks of reporting, it is very likely that someone will change their voting tendency at a certain moment.

The U.S. presidential election is often the result of the accumulation of such bit by bit tendencies.

Not only Eaglet Portal, but also CNN, which also leans towards the Democratic camp, also reported the voting results in the small town of Dixville in real time.

Whether it is the established CNN or the emerging Eaglet Portal, they are already important media platforms that cannot be ignored in the United States, and have a strong influence on news and public opinion trends.

It just so happens that the two media platforms have a strong real-time advantage over traditional newspapers.

Therefore, when the two major platforms reported the voting results in the small town of Dixville at the same time, the impact soon began to appear.

Across the Atlantic, Brent crude oil futures prices on the London Mercantile Exchange fell sharply following the release of voting data in the small town of Dixville.

No matter how it is justified, it is a well-known fact that the Bush family represents the interests of the US oil group and has largely pushed up the price of international crude oil during the past few years of Bush Sr.'s administration.

The drop in Brent crude oil futures was certainly the most direct market reaction to George Bush's electoral defeat in a small eastern town.

Both Eaglet Portal and CNN have keenly grasped the fluctuations in crude oil futures prices and started further reports.

Bill Clinton, who kept up with the times and established an official blog on the Eaglet Portal, also quickly expressed his thanks for the voting results in the small town of Dixville. A large number of people who also followed the general election through the Internet left messages of support.

In just one blog post, within half an hour, the number of comments exceeded 12. This inevitably became a small news event, and even CNN's real-time news was broadcast.

Of course, the Bush camp will refute this.

However, unlike Bill Clinton, and because of the political inclination of the entire Westeros system, George Bush himself did not open an official blog on the Igret Portal. Great Portal and CNN rebuttal for fueling a small town vote.

Although this blog post was sent to the top according to the popularity promotion rules of the blog, it was not artificially pinned to the top, and the attention was naturally much lower than that of Clinton.

When the sky lightened on the West Coast, most states in the United States except Alaska and Hawaii opened the voting.

Throughout the day, there will be mostly current news from both sides of the election, as well as expert media commentary on a variety of issues.

Everyone had breakfast together at seven o'clock. Jeff Bezos and Carol Bartz also said they would vote and left temporarily. Tim Berners-Lee is still a British citizen and did not join in the fun. Returning to the headquarters to preside over the overall situation, Simon followed with his female assistant, but instead of getting together with everyone, he came to the office specially reserved for Simon at Ygritte headquarters.

Leaning comfortably on the leather chair and flipping through today's newspaper, after Jennifer turned on the computer for herself and sorted out the few documents the staff just sent, Simon reached out and grabbed the female assistant into his arms.

Leaning on the man's body, Jennifer glanced at the door, and remembered that she had locked the door just now, so she felt relieved.

Watching Simon take off her small high heels, curl up her legs, hide a pair of little feet wearing stockings, and divert the man's attention: "The bill on lifting the ban on telecommunications operators from getting involved in equipment manufacturing should have been passed at the end of last month. Now, because of the matter of the Ygritte portal, this matter has been suppressed again, do you think there will be twists and turns?"

The female assistant's figure is very slender, so although she is tall, she has an obvious little birdy feeling when she is curled up in Simon's arms.

Simon hugged the female assistant's light body into his arms, kissed her fair neck, and said, "This is the general trend, and there will be no accidents. You know, this time it's not just the White House, if everything goes well , The Democrats will control both the Senate and the House of Representatives this time, even if the White House uses its influence to drag it on for a few more months until the transfer of power is completed, this matter will still pass.”

Jennifer was a little itchy from the man's kiss, she shrank her neck, and moved her face closer without any trace, and said, "But, I don't think it should be that simple?"

It's really not that simple,

Even if George Bush steps down this time, the deep-rooted influence of the Bush family in American politics will not dissipate.

However, the so-called politics is nothing more than a game.

When one's own side clearly has the upper hand, if a bill that the entire industry is very inclined to lift the ban cannot be passed, it will appear too incompetent.

Especially Bill Clinton.

This successful entry into the White House, whether it is Hollywood or Silicon Valley, has given him great support.

If the benefits deserved by the supporters behind the scenes cannot be fulfilled after taking office, the president wants to be re-elected, and even wants to continue to maintain his influence in the political circle after the presidential term ends, then it will be impossible.

According to the memories of Simon's previous life, Bill Clinton is a very trustworthy person in this regard.

The two were chatting when there was a sudden knock on the door.

The female assistant was startled, she jumped out of Simon's arms like a bunny, and then remembered that she was not wearing shoes.

He frantically found his shoes and put them on, tidied up his clothes, and ran to open the door after confirming that they were correct.

It was Claire Gein who knocked on the door, and Miss C was followed by another little tail named Jennifer.

Miss C didn't show any abnormality because of the blush on the female assistant's face, and greeted Simon, and everyone sat down on the sofa in the reception area.

In order to avoid the little embarrassment just now, the female assistant took the initiative to run to prepare coffee.

The small Jennifer Bray followed the figure of the female assistant out of the office, withdrew her attention, and landed on the man opposite.

Although she looked restrained and well-behaved on the surface, in the depths of the beautiful blue eyes of the little Jenny, there was still a certain kind of fanaticism when she rushed to the stage of Madonna's concert.

It's like being poisoned.

Every time Jennifer Bree thinks of the opportunity to be with him every day in the future, Jennifer Bree is so excited that she loses sleep.

However, she is also a very smart girl.

Understand that some things can backfire if you make them too obvious.

Therefore, now she doesn't look like his groupies at all.Of course, everything about him can be seen everywhere in her apartment bedroom, and it still shows a lot, but she never opens her private territory to others.

Well, except him of course.

Facing Simon at this time, the girl was a little distracted.

Can't help but think what he was doing with the other Jenny in the office just now?Obviously it's a very intimate thing, in the future, will I be able to do the same?

Then some uncontrollable emotions arise involuntarily.

On the other side of the sofa, Simon looked helplessly at the little girl with a flushed face. He chatted with Miss C about Tinkber for a while, and finally couldn't help but wink at her.

Claire noticed the reaction of the girl beside her, and was a little amused.

Although Jennifer Bray usually hides it very well, as an equally smart woman, Claire can certainly see through the girl's details.

It's just that I didn't expect the girl to suddenly reveal her secrets in this situation.

The office door was pushed open again, and the female assistant walked in with coffee.Because of some small thoughts, Miss C didn't want the female assistant to see Jennifer Bree's appearance at this time, so she reached out and pinched the waist of the girl beside her, and leaned into her ear and said, "Jen, you'd better go take a bath." Face."

Being pinched by Miss C, she felt a little pain. Jennifer Bray immediately realized that she had stared at him for so long just now, and got up shyly and said, "Hold, I'm sorry, I'm going to the bathroom."

After speaking, he stood up and left 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 blushing on her face. She was a little curious, but she didn't ask any further questions. She put the tray on the coffee table and began to distribute coffee to everyone.

Jennifer Bree is back and things are back to normal.

However, seeing the female assistant sitting next to him generously, I couldn't help but feel envious in my heart.

Everyone talked about the Tinkobel company and paid attention to the progress of the general election from time to time, and the time passed quickly.

When the time came to four o'clock in the afternoon on the west coast, it was already seven o'clock in the evening on the east coast.

The results of the data began to come out an hour after the voting deadline in some states and counties.

At 7:8 pm East Coast time, Indiana, located in the Great Lakes region, was the first to announce the results of the ballot count.

George Bush won.

At the same time won the first 12 electoral votes.

Indiana is adjacent to the Great Lakes and belongs to the old heavy industrial area in the United States. With the decline of the American auto industry, the economy of this area continues to slump, so it is called the "rust belt", which is also the traditional vote of the Republican camp.

The Bush camp won the first battle, but the excitement lasted only 3 minutes.

At 7:11, the news came again, and the results of the New Hampshire ballot were counted. This time, Bill Clinton won and won his first 4 electoral votes.

Subsequently, a series of eastern states and counties announced the election results, and Bill Clinton, who failed to get a good start, counterattacked all the way.

Maine, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Delaware...

Almost all of the New England regions in the Northeast of the United States that voted earlier voted for Bill Clinton, but in the last election, George Bush had an absolute advantage in New England.

Immediately afterwards, in the southeastern states, George Bush once again moved back to a lot of disadvantages. Except for Georgia, the traditional southern vote of the Republican Party, Florida, Alabama, etc., George Bush successfully won.

However, the southeastern states have also become George Bush's only advantage.

The rout began precisely in the Great Lakes 'rust belt' that gave George Bush a flying start.

Several states in the Great Lakes region were still red in the last election. This time, Indiana has become the only red among the continents with votes. Others such as Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, etc., all turned from red to red. blue.

And, compared to New England, which mostly has single-digit electoral votes, the densely populated "rust belt" region is just six states: Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Pennsylvania , the total number of votes reached 107, of which only Indiana's 12 were taken by Bush Sr., and the remaining 95 votes were all attributed to Bill Clinton.

In the U.S. presidential election, the total number of electoral votes in all states and counties is 538, and the winner-take-all format is adopted.

Normally, when a candidate wins more than half of the 270 electoral votes, it means winning the general election.

Now, just a few states on the 'rust belt' have provided Bill Clinton with 95 electoral votes. Gained an absolute advantage.

When the votes from several continents in the Central Plains Tornado Corridor of the United States were released, Bill Clinton had secured the victory in the general election ahead of time with 274 electoral votes.

At around midnight on the West Coast, all states and counties in the United States, including Hawaii, had all the statistical results released.

Bill Clinton finally defeated the incumbent President George Bush with an absolute advantage of 370 to 168, and won the 52nd US presidential election.

第507章 尘埃(修)

Involving the struggle for the pinnacle of power in the United States, the presidential election in the history of the United States has been controversial and seesaw more than once because of the close votes.

This time, with the huge electoral vote gap of 370 to 168, there is no room for maneuver.

When the election results finally came in, George Bush had to publicly admit defeat and congratulate Bill Clinton at the White House.

The Clintons are in Little Rock, Arkansas.

When Bush Sr. admitted his defeat, Bill Clinton immediately delivered a victory speech, reiterating a series of campaign promises, and at the same time emphasizing once again that his first priority after taking office is to restore the U.S. economy. This attitude is different from that of Bush Sr. The image of caring about the economy is in stark contrast.

Therefore, the next morning, with the overwhelming news and comments about the presidential election results in the media, the North American stock market rose significantly.

Although the outcome has been decided, the dust of this general election has not completely settled.

In the final statistics of votes, Bill Clinton's approval rate was 43%, George Bush's approval rate was 38%, and the last independent third-party candidate, Ross Perot, failed to win a single electoral vote. Get it, but the billionaire's popular vote support rate is as high as 19%, and he has received a total of 1974 million voters.

Ross Perot suddenly withdrew from the election in July when the final candidates of the two parties were completely finalized, leaving enough room for the two candidates to play. , absolutely cannot be described as a coincidence.

Unlike the huge gap in the electoral vote, Bill Clinton's popular vote lead over George Bush is only 5%, which is not obvious.

If it weren't for Ross Perot to carve up 19% of the vote, most of which came from the same conservative camp as Bush Sr., the outcome of this election would be really unpredictable.

After this election, and for many years to come, neither party in the United States dared to ignore the interference of independent candidates in the presidential election.

Go even further and start actively exploiting this distraction.

In Simon's memory, in the 2000 confrontation between Bush Jr. and Gore, the Republicans retaliated against each other, and also used independent candidates to share Gore's votes. In the end, Bush Jr. narrowly won with a very controversial narrow advantage won the election.

On the other hand, the emerging Internet media has also become a new media force capable of exerting a strong influence on public opinion in this year's US presidential election.

The key to why established media families such as the Hearst family and the Newhouse family are attracted by the upper echelons of the Federation lies in the fact that they have a large-scale media network and the right to speak that can influence the direction of public opinion.

After years of evolution, the power structure of traditional American TV media and paper media has long been determined.

Everyone naturally believed that the major established media families would continue to control the country's public opinion for many years to come. The sudden rise of Internet media caught many people off guard.

Although traditional TV networks such as ABC and established print media giants such as Hearst Group have begun to set foot in the Internet industry in the past two years, in order to avoid the traditional core business being affected, the investment and promotion of Internet media platforms are very conservative and cannot be achieved at all. Compete with the information business of Ygrit Portal.

The most important point is that the Ygret Portal also holds the interface of the entire World Wide Web.

The current World Wide Web is basically equivalent to the entire Internet for ordinary people.

Relying on the browser software, which is a barrier-level software weapon, as long as the public uses the Internet and opens the browser software, the first thing that jumps out is the Igret Portal.

Like the overflowing navigation websites in Simon's memory, the Ygritte portal is actually very easy to copy on the surface.However, a series of core technologies owned by Eaglet, such as e-mail, search engines, online payment, etc., are not so easy to follow suit, which involves many patent barriers like browser software.

Because of preconceived notions, Eaglet developed the IE browser, using the Eaglet portal as the homepage, and it is a homepage that cannot be changed at all, which is taken for granted by many people.Except for Simon, most users don't think there is anything wrong with IE's complete lack of an option to change the home page.

If someone copies a portal website, not to mention whether it can provide core products equivalent to the Eaglet Portal, according to the normal logic of most people, it is only natural that such a website is blocked by Eaglet Corporation.

All in all, although the number of Internet sites has shown an exponential growth trend, Eaglet Portal is already an unshakable overlord of the Internet industry.Websites run by other companies not only use the technology from Eaglet, but if they want to get more traffic, they must find ways to join the navigation page of the Eaglet portal.

It can be said that Internet media, a new media force, is basically in the hands of Eaglet Corporation.To be more precise, it is in the hands of the Westeros system.

In the last month of the election, the company did not disclose relevant data on the specific effects of Eaglet Portal's obviously biased reports on Bill Clinton, and the outside world can only guess about it.

However, on the day of the election, real-time reports on the first town in New Hampshire to start voting even affected the London crude oil futures trading market. Although there may be some influence from media such as CNN, this most intuitive The effect of controlling public opinion cannot be ignored by anyone.

Simon had just watched Clinton's victory speech in San Francisco, and the incoming president expressed his gratitude through Joseph Schlapp in less than half an hour.

The timing is too sensitive, and it is not suitable for the two to talk directly.

Not only that, Clinton also sent word that he would arrange a visit to Silicon Valley as soon as possible after taking office next year.

Visiting Silicon Valley is actually an attitude, a promise.

Back when Bill Clinton was just one of the candidates, the Westeros system of direct betting began to help clean up some of this shit.Clinton's statement at this time actually means that the Westeros system's efforts over the past year have not been in vain.
