Exhausted but hopeful, Obama returns home

Posted by Scott Helman, Political Reporter February 5, 2008 01:35 PM

CHICAGO -- Barack Obama and his weary entourage just landed in Chicago, where he will spend the rest of the day contemplating his political future. Will the biggest voting day of the year end with a win, loss, or draw?

Obama is headed to his home on Chicago's South Side, where he will vote, get a little rest, and continue his punishing schedule of broadcast interviews: As of early this morning, he had 30 interviews scheduled for Super Tuesday, from the national network morning shows to regional radio programs. And his voice was already hoarse last night after the late-night rally in Boston.

All we can do now is sit back and wait for the results to come in. Get comfortable -- it's going to be a long day.

  1. Barack Obama needs to rest at this time, because he has a big job ahead of him.
    That job will be the next leader of our country. Change is on the way.

  1. I love OBAMA. He defines RESPECT, HONOR, and DIGNITY (something Washington hasn't seen in a long time).

  1. Obama will survive the negativism and become the President we need. He has given us a reason to be hopeful, something we have not felt for a long time. I believe in Obama and everything he stands for.
