Democratic Party nominee Barack Obama, a 47-year-old first-term senator from Illinois, shattered more than 200 years of history by winning election as the first African-American president of the United States. A crowd of 125,000 people jammed Grant Park in Chicago, where Obama addressed the nation for the first time as its president-elect at midnight ET. Hundreds of thousands more Mayor Richard Daley said he would not be surprised if a million Chicagoans jammed the streets watched on a large television screen outside the park.
