While I was coming home, this girl asked the man next to me if he knew where she could find a copy of The New York Times. Dressed in casual sweatpants, she’d apparently been shuffling all around upper Manhattan in search of a copy of the elusive newspaper with its bold headline: OBAMA.

The man told her that he had looked for it himself and couldn’t find a copy from three different news stands. It was sold out everywhere.

Across the nation, throughout the whole world, everyone knows that we are witnesses to a new page in history. Generations later, we will probably look back at this time and pull out these very same newspaper clippings to reminisce on this day, the day the United States chose change.
