This is very tricky to answer to. I think that since GM is such a big company the government should save them, because if tehy don't so many people will loose their jobs and that will affect so many people and also the government. So by saving GM, the government can make it easier for themselves in some ways. But at the same time I think it would be unfair if the government saved GM. Because then, they would have to save other companies as well.
I think that if GM fails that could definitly affect other companies. Both in good and bad ways maybe. In bad ways because people would get afraid of putting their money into a buisness that is very unsafe and stop buying new cars. But in a good way maybe, because then they would loose one of their opponents, and they would get the chance of selling more cars.
It's also hard to say if the government should try do save other companies instead of saving GM. Is it better to save a big company and let smaller companies down, or is it better to let GM down but save more, smaller companies?

The question what we can do to save jobs is very hard to answer. Especially since there is so many factors that are involved in this topic.
I think that one thing to maybe save a few jobs could be to do one thing that has been discused in Sweden.
A normal day of work is 8 hours. But if a normal day of work would be 6 hours instead, that would mean that some companies and places like hospitals, firerescues and a lot more places would have to hire more people to do the job that the other people used to do. If you say that at a hospital, people have to work 24/7. If you divide 24 for 8 you get 3. That means that 3 people could work within one spot. But if you divide 24 with 6 you get four. That means that 4 people could do the work that 3 people used to do. And by doing that, people would get more time over, to spend with family, friends etc. I think that by doing this we wouldn't just get more jobs but happier people as well.

Hispanics, young voters, women help Obama win
By DEBORAH BAKER
Associated Press Writer
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.
Barack Obama drew on support from Hispanics, young voters and women to score victories in New Mexico, Nevada and Colorado - three Western states that voted for President Bush in 2004.
Obama also contributed to an Election Day sweep in New Mexico that put the state's entire congressional delegation in Democratic hands for the first time in 40 years.
According to exit polling conducted for The Associated Press, Obama performed better among New Mexico Hispanics than John Kerry did four years ago when he narrowly lost the state to President Bush.
"We don't need another Bush in there," said John Marquez, 44, an Albuquerque Democrat who supported Obama. "We need to get the Republicans out. They're driving us under. We've got to put the country back in order."
About seven in 10 Hispanics in New Mexico favored Obama, despite John McCain's aggressive targeting of them with advertising in Spanish and appeals that focused on his record in the military.
Geography also was key. Obama picked up a majority of voters in the Albuquerque area, the state's population center, and claimed more than 2-1 support in the traditionally Democratic northern half of the state.
The economy dominated the concerns of New Mexicans. Slightly more than half of all New Mexico voters said the economy was the most important issue facing the nation. Of those, nearly three-fifths favored Obama.
Obama engineered a similar victory in Nevada, where he won overwhelming support from minority voters.
Roughly three-quarters of Hispanics and more than nine in 10 blacks in Nevada voted for Obama, and the groups combined represented about one quarter of the total vote, exit polls said.
More than half of Nevada women backed Obama, while men supported McCain and Obama about evenly, the poll said.
In Colorado, where a third of registered voters are listed as independent, Obama led among unaffiliated voters. He also did well among women, moderates, Hispanics and people seeking change, according to an Associated Press poll of voters over the past week.
In New Mexico, new voters - nearly three-quarters of them under 30 - flocked to Obama. They backed him almost 3-1 over McCain. About one in eight voters said this was the first year they had cast a ballot. A majority of new voters were Hispanic.
Obama also took the middle political ground. He led McCain by 15 percentage points among independents; they accounted for more than a quarter of voters. Nearly three-fifths of moderates backed Obama.
In the New Mexico congressional delegation, all three incumbents - Republicans Heather Wilson and Steve Pearce and Democrat Tom Udall - gave up their seats to run for the Senate post being vacated by retiring Republican Pete Domenici.
On Tuesday, that turned into a windfall for Democrats. Udall beat Pearce, who had defeated Wilson in the June GOP primary.
And Pearce and Wilson's open seats in the House went to Democrats: Martin Heinrich, a former Albuquerque city councilman, defeated GOP candidate Darren White, a county sheriff. And oilman Harry Teague, another Democrat, beat GOP businessman Ed Tinsley.
Democrats outnumber Republicans in the state and dominate in statewide offices and the Legislature. But it's different in federal races, where moderate-to-conservative Democrats - especially those in rural areas - often tilt to Republican candidates.
In 2000, Democrat Al Gore won the state by just 366 votes. In 2004, New Mexico went for Bush by fewer than 6,000 votes, making it one of only two states that shifted from blue to red that year.
Why do you think Obama won this election? What do you think is the big difference, that made Obama more popular than McCain? What do you think will be the biggest difference after this election? Why do you think that Omaba got so much support from Hispanics, young voters and women?
