Victorious Barack Obama vows to be president for all
BARACK OBAMA today promised to be a president for all Americans as he became the first black man to be elected to the White House.
The 47-year-old Democratic senator from Illinois took 52 per cent of the popular vote against 47 per cent for Republican rival John McCain.
And he won in most of the knife-edge states, securing at least 349 electoral college votes to Mr McCain's 162.
The Democrats also strengthened their hold in both the Senate and Congress to make Mr Obama's victory complete.
Right up until election day, there had been fears that despite Mr Obama's lead in the polls, a hidden racial factor could yet lead to defeat.
But Mr Obama, the son of a Kenyan father and a white woman from Kansas, scored sweeping wins across the country and triumphed in the majority of the battleground states.
And early this morning the new president-elect told an ecstatic crowd in his home town of Chicago that change had come to America.
He said: "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.
"It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment, change has come to America.
"And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too."
He spoke of the challenges ahead as "the greatest of our lifetime – two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century".
He said: "The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you, we as a people will get there."
And he urged a new spirit of service and sacrifice. "Let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other."
Mr Obama appeared on stage with his wife Michelle and young daughters Malia, 10, and Sasha, seven, at his side.
And he paid tribute to his Republican opponent.
"Senator McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader."
And he said he wanted to work with Senator McCain and Governor Palin "to renew this nation's promise" in the months ahead.
"Let's resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long."
The first polls in the US closed at midnight UK time, and just a few minutes later the first predicted results, drawn from exit polls and early vote counts, came in. Mr Obama took the lead just after 1am, when Pennsylvania, with 21 electoral votes, was called for the Democratic candidate. Just after 2am Ohio went Mr Obama's way. No Republican has ever captured the White House without first winning Ohio.
By 3am Mr Obama won Iowa, where his landmark run for the presidency began in January with a surprisingly strong victory in the state's first-in-the-nation caucuses.
With just two minutes to go before the polls closed in California, Virginia declared for Mr Obama taking his electoral votes to 220.
And at 4am, the television networks, knowing California's 55 votes would take him over the magic 270 limit, declared him the victor and the 44th president of the United States.
When Mr McCain phoned to congratulate him, Mr Obama said he wanted to sit down soon with the veteran Arizona senator and see how they could work together.
In his concession speech to a crowd of supporters in Phoenix, Arizona, Mr McCain said: "My friends, we have come to the end of a long journey. The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly."
He congratulated Mr Obama on his victory. And he continued: "This is an historic election, and I recognise the special significance it has for African-Americans and for the special pride that must be theirs tonight.
"Senator Obama and I have had and argued our differences, and he has prevailed. No doubt many of those differences remain. I pledge to him tonight to do all in my power to help him lead us through the many challenges we face."
Mr Obama's victory comes 45 years after the height of the civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King. The new president-elect was born at a time when African Americans were still battling segregationist policies in the South and his dramatic rise could help the United States bury its long history of racial tensions.
Civil rights leader and former presidential candidate Rev Jesse Jackson, who was with Martin Luther King when he was assassinated 40 years ago, joined the celebrations in Chicago, tears streaming down his cheeks.
Blacks and whites celebrated together in front of the White House to mark Obama's win and Bush's imminent departure. Cars jammed the downtown Washington streets, with drivers honking horns and cheering.
Mr Obama's victory was today being seen as a decisive rejection of the last eight years of President George W Bush. Democrats tried to present the prospect of a McCain victory as a vote for another term of Bush policies.
And pundits said it was Mr McCain's inability to shake off the association with Mr Bush which helped lead to his defeat.
Mr Obama's administration is expected to adopt a multilateral approach to foreign and domestic policies – very different from his predecessor – but there is speculation that he will invite some senior Republicans to serve in his government.
He will not be installed as president until January 20, but the work of transition will start immediately.
2012 ODDS OUT
BARACK OBAMA is already odds-on favourite to win the 2012 US election, according to a leading bookmaker.
A spokesman for Paddy Power said Obama is 4-5 favourite to win the next presidential election.
They have made John McCain's vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin 3-1 favourite to win the Republican nomination in 2012 and 7-1 to beat Obama in that election.
Odds are also available on who President Obama will choose as his Secretary of State.
Diplomat Richard Holbrooke is 9-4 favourite with Anthony Lake and Richard Lugar sharing the 7-2 second-favourites tag.
An outside bet is former two-time Democratic president Bill Clinton at 33-1. His wife, Hillary, is at odds of 66-1 to get the job.
Brown praises new leader's 'vision for the future'PRIME Minister Gordon Brown today said he was looking forward to working with the new US President.
In a statement, he said: "The relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom is vital to our prosperity and security.
"Barack Obama ran an inspirational campaign, energising politics with his progressive values and his vision for the future.
"I know Barack Obama and we share many values.
"We both have determination to show that government can act to help people fairly through these difficult times facing the global economy."
Conservative leader David Cameron said: "In electing Barack Obama, America has made history and proved to the world that it is a nation eager for change."
First Minister Alex Salmond sent a message to Mr Obama, saying: "On behalf of the people of Scotland, I send you my heartfelt congratulations on a wonderful and historic election victory – it ushers in a new era of hope for the United States and its role in the world. This was a victory for optimism over pessimism, for hope over fear."

Think Before Making A Wish .. Must Read
A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him.
The waitress asks them for their orders.
The man says, 'A hamburger, fries and a coke,' and turns to the ostrich, 'What's yours?'
'I'll have the same,' says the ostrich.
A short time later the waitress returns with the order 'That will be $9.40 please,' and the man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment.
The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the man says,
'A hamburger, fries and a coke.'
The ostrich says, 'I'll have the same.'
Again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change.
This be comes routine until the two enter again. 'The usual?' asks the waitress.
'No, this is Friday night, so I will have a steak, baked potato and a salad,' says the man.
'Same,' says the ostrich.
Shortly the waitress brings the order and says, 'That will be $32.62.
Once again the man pulls the exact change out of his pocket and places it on the table.
The waitress cannot hold back her curiosity any longer. 'Excuse me, sir. How do you manage to always come up with the exact change in your pocket every time?'
'Well,' says the man, 'several years ago I was cleaning the attic and found an old lamp.
When I rubbed it, a Genie appeared and offered me two wishes.
My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I would just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money would always be there.'
'That's brilliant' says the waitress. 'Most people would ask for a million dollars or something, but you'll always be as rich as you want for as long as you live!'
'That's right. Whether it's a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there,' says the man.
The waitress asks, 'What's with the ostrich?'
The man sighs, pauses and answers, 'My second wish was for a tall chick with a big arse and long legs who agrees with everything I say...

McCain tries to cash in on Obama's absence
NEW YORK - As numbers emerged Friday showing U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama was benefiting most from early voting, Republican John McCain sought to take advantage of his Democratic rival's absence from the campaign trail by advancing twin pitches on taxes and security that his handlers say can win him back the momentum.
Obama was in Hawaii visiting his ailing grandmother as McCain, addressing a rally in Denver, Colo., entrenched messages that play off a pair of inopportune remarks made recently by Obama and his running mate, Senator Joe Biden.
As far back as the last debate between the two candidates, McCain has been evoking the plight of the Ohio journeyman known as Joe the Plumber, to whom Obama revealed his intention to "spread the wealth around" if he becomes president.
Republican presidential candidate John McCain speaks at a campaign rally at the Western Arena in Denver, Colorado on Friday.
This week, McCain has been pouncing on Biden's Sunday declaration that enemies of the United States would quickly "test" an Obama presidency by provoking a potentially destabilizing international incident.
McCain strategists believe reacting to these remarks gives the Republican his best hope of closing the huge poll lead Obama currently enjoys and prevailing on Nov. 4.
According to one senior advisor who spoke to reporters on McCain's campaign plane, of greatest concern to voters is the idea Obama is "so liberal."
"As Joe the Plumber and small business owners across the country have now reminded us all, America didn't become the greatest nation on earth by giving our money to the government to 'spread the wealth around'," McCain said in Denver as he evoked Obama's encounter with Samuel J. Warzelbacher of Holland, Ohio.
On the security question, he said he would "not be a president that needs to be tested," citing his military experience to show how he has already been tested.
McCain strategists feel the twin messages are responsible for the slight reduction in Obama's lead in the latest polls.
Among a new sheaf of polls Friday from Quinnipiac University in important "swing" states, Obama's eight-percentage-point lead Oct. 1 in Florida has been reduced to five percentage points. In Pennsylvania, it declined from 15 percentage points to 13. In Ohio, however, McCain lost ground over the same period, as Obama expanded his lead from eight percentage points to 14.
McCain famously demonstrated during the primaries he's capable of making a comeback, as he defied pundits' predictions he was finished by winning in New Hampshire after shunning the early Iowa caucuses.
But he's now faced with the difficulty of representing the party that has occupied the White House for eight years at a time plunging stock markets (there was a new global cascade Friday) have placed forecasts of a U.S. recession in high relief.
What's more, McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin, was also forced to break off from the campaign trail Friday - though the reason for her absence contrasted sharply with Obama's.
Palin and her husband, Todd, were scheduled to be grilled in a second inquiry into her alleged abuse of power as Governor of Alaska.
Palin is accused of violating ethics rules when she fired the state's top law enforcement official, Walt Monegan, who says he got the boot because he refused to fire her former brother-in-law, a state trooper, who the Palins said was threatening the family.
The McCain campaign Friday also faced additional questioning over Palin's $150,000 makeover in clothes, accessories and hairstyling - spending that contrasts with McCain's current push for working-class support and Palin's projected image as an ordinary Alaska citizen who grew up hunting moose with her father.
"Governor Palin did not ask for or want any new clothes," said Nicolle Wallace, a senior McCain advisor.
"About a third of them have been returned, a third of them sit in the belly of the plane and are available to her and her family for special campaign events, TV appearances and ad filming, (and) another third was made available to her family for the public events during convention week."
It emerged Friday that Obama has the edge in seven of nine states that collect party registration and demographic data on early voting as Democrats, African Americans and first-time voters cast ballots in unprecedented numbers.
Obama received the endorsement Friday of the editorially liberal-leaning New York Times, which had endorsed Hillary Clinton during the primaries for the Democratic nomination, and McCain for the Republican nomination.
