Another wins

Formal votes were cast today for President. Across all 50 states and the District of Columbia, electors cast their votes in the Electoral College. Votes will be tallied on January 6, 2009, when Barack Obama will officially become the President-elect under the U.S. Constitution.

As pro football legend, Franco Harris signs his autograph countless thousands of times. But the signature he made as one of 21 Pennsylvania electors
for Obama was the one the Pittsburgh Steelers great running back won't ever forget.

"That was special," the Pro Football Hall of Famer said. "This was the most valuable thing I've ever signed my name to."
