"Many new voters agree, 'time has come' for Obama"

[Renew Deal]

...Excited campaign volunteers gathered in a Chicago hotel ballroom — where Obama celebrated his Senate victory in 2004 — to watch returns and cheer Obama.

"There is one thing on this February night that we do not need the final results to know," Obama told the crowd. "Our time has come. Our movement is real. And change is coming to America."

Obama reiterated his "respect" for rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, but looked to the campaign against the Republican nominee when he said, "This fall we owe the American people a real choice."

..."We are the hope of the woman who fears that her city will not be rebuilt and she cannot somehow claim the life that was swept away in a terrible storm. Yes, she can."
