President-Elect Barack Obama spent most of yesterday out of the public's eye. USA Today reported that he was spotted on the way to workout at a gym "wearing a baseball cap and holding a newspaper." No one wanted to spend yesterday without a newspaper.
Today, front pages provide analysis, looking at the "how" behind the win.
Atop The Indianapolis Star was the label "Why Indiana turned blue." The answer: "Exit polls: 1st-time voters and blacks aided Democrat." "How Obama Built a Winning Coalition" led The Philadelphia Inquirer. Its answer: "He widened Democrats' usual base of support."
From the strategically important state of Florida, the St. Petersburg Times said, "Key to Victory in Florida: Campaigning cast wide net."
The San Francisco Chronicle broke down the vote to illustrate "His Mandate" and "Where the Votes Were." The Washington Post reported, "Democrats Add Suburbs to Their Growing Coalition."
