Obama's Victory Speech
And Some Of The Reaction To His Speech
"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer," Obama told a massive crowd of cheering supporters in Chicago's Grant Park Tuesday night, following his winning the race for President of the United States.
Barack Obama made history November 4th. The 47-year-old Democratic junior senator from Illinois swept to victory over his Republican opponent, Arizona Sen. John McCain, building an Electoral College majority of at least 338 votes.
"It's been a long time coming, but tonight because of what we did on this day, in this election, on this defining moment, change is coming to America." With his victory, Obama, the Hawaiian-born son of a black man from Kenya and a white woman from Kansas, is poised to turn the page on Republican policies of the last eight years.
Obama's victory is widely being reported as "the biggest for news Web sites since measuring began three years ago." The Web's emerging dominance as a prime source for news was demonstrated as several online news sites, including those produced by MSNBC, CNN and ABC News, said that Tuesday ranked as their most-visited day ever.
