Change has come

Victory for Obama

Barack Obama has swept to victory to become the first black president of the United States. Addressing jubilant crowds in Chicago, he said that 'change has come to America' - but what will an Obama presidency mean for the rest of the world?

• Obama and the world
• What changes lie ahead?
• World leaders' reactions

• Obama's victory speech
• Why Obama won / Why McCain lost

338-163 electoral votes.
61.1 - 54.5 million votes.

It's a landslide.

Ah, well off to William hill, to find out the odds on him being assassinated. Keep a look out on the book depository Obama ;-)
