USA – Obama Wins Presidency
CBS:With nearly all polls closed across the country, CBS News projects that Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama will become the 44th president of the United States. Obama’s victory, an historic moment in American history, comes on the strength of projected victories in battleground states that went to President George W. Bush four years ago – among them Ohio, Florida, Virginia, New Mexico and Iowa – as well as a win in Pennsylvania, a state that John McCain had hoped to turn blue to buoy his bid for an upset victory.
As the results came in Tuesday evening, a senior aide told CBS News the McCain camp was hoping for a “miracle,” but the Arizona senator was not able to defy expectations in one of the worst election years for Republicans in decades.
