Various of Obamas and the Bidens STORYLINE: For 22 months, Michelle Obama has been juggling the roles of wife, mother and chief surrogate to her husband on the campaign trail. She has described herself as a "multitasker." Her husband, the President-elect, has called her his "rock." Now, Michelle Obama is preparing to take on a new role: that of the first African-American First Lady of the United States. "I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years, the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's next First Lady, Michelle Obama," said Barack Obama during his victory speech on Tuesday night. Despite a high-powered career of her own and two young daughters at home in Chicago, Michelle Obama was a frequent presence on the campaign trail, as she set out to introduce herself to the nation and sell her husband as the best man for the job. Though she encountered criticism on everything from her patriotism to her outfits, Obama was embraced by supporters as an intelligent and eloquent campaigner with a genuine style and sharp sense of humour. Speaking to a group of women in Iowa last December, Obama injected a bit of wit into her impassioned speech about her husband. "That's why I married Barack, because of those values. He was cute, too. That helped. I want to be realistic here, he's cute," she said. Obama has said she never sought the spotlight herself, but on the campaign trail, she seemed at ease and at home. Historian Betty Boyd Caroli, who has written books about US first ladies, said Michelle Obama's natural charisma and gift for public speaking will be a huge asset as she embarks upon her new role. With two young girls to look after - 7-year-old Sasha and 10-year-old Malia - Obama has said her daughters will be her number one priority, and she won't seek a major policy role in her husband's administration. Still, Obama said recently she hopes to be a voice for working mothers. Caroli said that platform, and Obama's relationship with her daughters, could be her biggest asset in winning over an American public. Neighbours who live near the Obamas' home in Chicago said the family bond is strong.

Bush and Barbara Bush greet the then President-elect Bill Clinton ahead of Clinton's presidential swearing in ceremony STORYLINE Barack Obama, his wife Michelle and their daughters Malia and Sasha are poised to become the first African American family to occupy the White House. During his speech at a delirious victory rally in Chicago on Tuesday night, Obama told 10-year-old Malia and seven-year-old Sasha that they would get the puppy he promised. Curtis Roosevelt, the grandson of former US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, believes the Obama family will "bring their own style" to the White House. After his first year at Harvard Law School, Obama worked one summer at a corporate law firm in Chicago where his adviser was Michelle Robinson, another Harvard law graduate and a product of a working-class family. They later married and had Malia and Sasha. A former colleague of the President-elect, Douglas Baird believes the Obamas will come across as more of a family than some previous Democratic occupants of the White House such as the Carters and the Clintons.

Still photo of Barack Obama whispering into Michelle's ear at event in Miami 27. Shots of Michelle and Barack Obama hugging and kissing at Election night victory rally in Chicago STORYLINE: Like a number of American women, Michelle Obama has spent years juggling the roles of wife, mother and high-powered career woman. Now, the ivy-league educated lawyer-turned executive, and mother of two is about to take on her most high profile role yet - that of the first African American first lady of the United States. Her new residence will be a far cry from her childhood neighbourhood on Chicago's South Side. And her new life - a radical change from the one she and her family enjoyed just five years ago, when her husband was still a long-shot Senate candidate from Illinois. Journalist and author Liza Mundy penned the first ever biography of Michelle Obama. "They're so interesting because they were obscure and unknown as recently as four or five years ago...In that short period of time, she's gone from being the wife of a long-shot Senate candidate to being the new first lady of the United States and the first African American first lady and an object of global fascination," Mundy said. Though Obama has said she never sought the spotlight herself, she's fallen into it with apparent ease. Those who know her say her intelligence, eloquence and ability to inspire a crowd rival her husband's, and could come in handy as she becomes one of the most visible women in the world. "She's the sort of person who people enjoy being around. She's the sort of person who fills the room when she walks in. She's got a lot of charisma, just as he does," Mundy said. Just how she decides to put that charisma to use remains to be seen. Obama has said she doesn't want an official policy role, at least for now, in her husband's administration. But she has made clear the issues of working mothers, like herself, will be a top priority during her tenure as first lady. Other issues close to Obama's heart: the plight of military families and promoting volunteerism. Friends say the Obamas like to entertain. And are likely to open the White House once again to all sorts of social functions. "She's going to be a social first lady. I think they're going to use the White House for functions and diplomacy and social networking and just inviting people in," Mundy said. However Mrs. Obama decides to proceed, a couple of points are all but certain. First, she has said her duties as a mom will remain her top priority in the White House, as she focuses on easing the transition for her daughters and helps them settle in to a new way of life. At least for now, she'll have support from her mother, Marian Robinson, who has agreed to move into the White House to help take care if the girls. Mundy said the first lady is going to "have to spend a lot of time" at first "giving them a sense of normalcy and ushering them into a new set of peers and families and schooling. And she will have to work hard to create a new life for those children and have them not feel as though their lives have been radically altered." Second, even without a seat at the decision-making table, Michelle Obama will remain her husband's close confidante and adviser - or as he likes to call her, his "rock."

Our tracking polls overnight look very well." 20. Pull out shot of McCain 'Straight Talk Express' bus STORYLINE: Hundreds of people are already lining up Tuesday outside Chicago's Grant Park for a Barack Obama election night rally, hours before the event kicks off. Hundreds of thousands are expected in the area later tonight. Supporters of the Democratic presidential candidate hope this evening's event will become a victory celebration. Chicago Mayor Richard Daley spoke to reporters in nearby Millennium Park and said the evening will be emotional as he predicted an Obama win. "It is a celebration," Daley said. "Everybody wants to be a part of American history, not only from Chicago. They're coming here from the Midwest, from around the world. They want to be here. They want to be part of American history." Many of the waiting supporters are wearing Obama T-shirts and buttons and have packed picnic supplies to munch on while they wait. Obama supporter Jana Messer is optimist that the rally will be a celebration and was in line bright and early Tuesday morning to get a good position inside Grant Park. "We're going to win and I want to be there to shake his hand." Student Kristina Carbonell sold her extra ticket to Obama's event in Grant Park for $500 dollars. "I went on Ebay just wondering just out of curiosity to see how much people were going for the tickets and people are buying them for a thousand dollars so, um, I figured if people really wanted them that bad I might as well sell mine since I didn't know too many people who wanted tickets." She plans to use the money to help with her graduate school fees. In Republican presidential candidate John McCain's home state of Arizona, the setup for Tuesday night's election results party is in full swing. Senator John McCain, his family, campaign staff and other supporters will watch the results at the Biltmore Resort in Phoenix Tuesday night. Depending on the outcome of the election, McCain will either make a victory speech as the next President-elect of the United States or give a concession speech. Members of the media from the US and around the world are showing up to get satellite trucks into position, gear into place, and phone lines set up for Tuesday. McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds says, "John McCain has closed well, closed well throughout the primary, he knows how to close down an election." "We've seen Barack Obama have an inability to close in key states - he lost Pennsylvania, he lost Ohio, he lost 9 of the last 13 primary states. He is not a strong closer and we think we can capitalise on that." Bounds still believes the Republican ticket will do well in the battleground state of Pennsylvania. "It is a key state for us. We've spent a lot of time there. Senator McCain has been there 12 times there over the last 14 days and I think that that is a key state." The television news networks are setting up for McCain's speech to an estimated several thousand supporters in the Biltmore resort's courtyard while the campaign is setting up a separate results-watching party in one of the hotel's ballroom. keyword us elections 2008

I believe we can seize this future together because we are not as divided as our politics suggests. We're not as cynical as the pundits believe. We are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions, and we remain more than a collection of red states and blue states. We are and forever will be the United States of America. And together with your help and God's grace we will continue our journey forward and remind the world just why it is that we live in the greatest nation on Earth. Thank you, America. God bless you.

Various as Biden and Obama families on stage as red, white and blue confetti comes down STORYLINE: US President Barack Obama rolled to re-election on Tuesday night, vanquishing former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney despite a weak economy that plagued his first term and put a crimp in the middle class dreams of millions. In victory, he confidently promised better days ahead. Obama spoke to an ecstatic crowd crammed into the cavernous McCormick Place convention centre in Chicago's lakefront. Obama appeared about two hours after he was declared the victor in his re-election bid and less than an hour after Romney offered a cordial concession. The president took the stage with first lady Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia. Obama spoke to thousands of cheering supporters in his hometown of Chicago, praising Romney and declaring his optimism for the next four years. "While our road has been hard, though our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back and we know in our hearts that for the United States of America, the best is yet to come," he said. With returns from 84 percent of the nation's precincts, Obama had 53.7 (m) million, 49.6 percent of the popular vote. Romney had 53 (m) million, or 48.9 percent. The president's laser-like focus on the battleground states allowed him to run up a 303-206 margin in the competition for the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House, the count that mattered most. Remarkably, given the sour economy, he lost only two states that he captured in 2008, Indiana and North Carolina. Florida, another Obama state four years ago, remained too close to call. The election emerged as a choice between two very different visions of government - whether it occupies a major, front-row place in American lives or is in the background as a less-obtrusive facilitator for private enterprise and entrepreneurship. The economy was rated the top issue by about 60 percent of voters surveyed as they left their polling places. But more said former President George W. Bush bore responsibility for current circumstances than Obama did after nearly four years in office. That boded well for the president, who had worked to turn the election into a choice between his proposals and Romney's, rather than a simple referendum on the economy during his time in the White House. Unemployment stood at 7.9 percent on Election Day, higher than when he took office. And despite signs of progress, the economy is still struggling after the worst recession in history. Obama pledged to work with leaders of both parties to help the nation complete its recovery from the worst recession since the Great Depression. "Whether I earned your vote or not, I have listened to you, I have learned from you, and you've made me a better president, " Obama said. He vowed to "return to the White House more determined and more inspired than ever about the work there is to do and the future that lies ahead." The president sounded a determined note looking forward to the next four years. "We're not as cynical as the pundits believe, " he said. "We are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions, and we remain more than a collection of red states and blue states. We are and forever will be the United States of America." By any description, the list of challenges is daunting - high unemployment, a slow-growth economy, soaring deficits, a national debt at unsustainable. To say nothing of the threat of a nuclear Iran and the menace of al-Qaida and other terrorist groups more than a decade after the attacks of September 11, 2001. Like Obama, Vice President Joe Biden was in Chicago as he waited to find out if he was in line for a second term. After the costliest - and one of the nastiest - campaigns in history, divided government was alive and well after the majority of Tuesday's results became clear. Democrats retained control of the Senate with surprising ease and Republicans did the same in the House of Representatives, ensuring that Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, Obama's partner in unsuccessful deficit talks, would reclaim his seat at the bargaining table. Obama said he wants to meet with Republican rival Mitt Romney to discuss how they can work together. He says they may have "battled fiercely, but it's only because we love this country deeply." Red, white and blue confetti fell on Obama's supporters after his speech, as they celebrated his re-election in Chicago.
