Senator Barack Obama will be the 44th President of the United States of America. In an amazing moment in American history, the ultimate color line has been broken. The last few days had challenged Obama’s sense of calm like never before, his election-day stress amplified by the fatigue of an 18-month campaign and the death of his grandmother just the day before.
A sense of history stalked Obama everywhere during election day. A huge crowd of more than a hundred-thousand people gathered to celebrate Obama's victory in Chicago’s Grant Park, where President-elect Obama appeared to make his victory speech.
This piece presents a number of stunning photographs, a very moving candid video that was shot inside Obama's Grant Park victory rally and a remarkable photo-gallery.Senator Barack Obama will be the 44th President of the United States of America. In... more

After the longest presidential campaign in history, Barack Obama saved a huge Virginia rally for last, speaking to 90,000 people in Manassas (VA). For his conclusion, he reached back to the very beginnings of his campaign to tell an inspirational story that had long ago fallen away from his routine.
It was about a small 60 year-old woman whom he had met during a visit to tiny Greenwood, South Carolina, in 2007, and it became a favorite during his Iowa caucus campaign. It ends with Obama leading a cheer of "Fire it Up, Ready to Go!"
Obama ended Tuesday night's Virginia rally by exhorting the large crowd: "In 21 hours, if you are willing to endure rainfall, to take the person who was not going to vote to the polls, if you will stand with me in a fight with me, I know that your voice will matter. I have one question for you, Virginia. Are you fired up? Are you ready to go? Fired up? Ready to go? Fired up! Ready to go! Virginia, let's go change the world!"

Thursday night, the National Democratic Convention moves to Denver's Invesco Field so that more Americans can be a part of the fourth night of the Convention, where Barack Obama will accept the Democratic nomination for President.

John Edwards, the former North Carolina Senator who bowed out of the presidential race last January, endorsed Senator Barack Obama at a rally that was held in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Wednesday night, May 14th. Officials announced the news shortly after Obama had landed in Grand Rapids late Wednesday afternoon.
Barack Obama’s campaign is anticipating that the endorsement will represent a major step toward the party’s coalescing around Senator Obama as the Democratic presidential nominee. The endorsement has ended many months of speculation about Mr. Edwards’ preference in the Democratic nominating contest, during most of which he generally stayed silent and remained close to home in Chapel Hill (NC).

Last Night, Obama posted landslide wins in the Nebraska and Washington state caucuses, and in the Louisiana primary. He also won the Virgin Islands caucuses. Obama added many more delegates in his historic run for the presidential nomination.
While Senator Obama had been expected to win the contests on Saturday, the margin of victories were surprising, particularly in Nebraska and Washington, which offered the day’s biggest pool of delegates. In both states, he captured 68 percent of the vote in caucuses, compared with Clinton’s roughly 32 percent.
Obama celebrated his victories in a rousing speech to his supporters at the the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in Richmond, Virginia. “We won in Louisiana, we won in Nebraska, we won in Washington state,” Mr. Obama proclaimed. “We won North, we won South, we won in between. And I believe that we can win in Virginia on Tuesday if you’re ready to stand for change.”
