From Barack Obama's campaign headquarters in Chicago you can look out over Grant Park, down Lake Shore Drive (''now we're tripping on LSD'', taxi drivers like to say as they pull onto Lake Shore) to the McCormick Centre, where the President claimed his victory early on Wednesday morning.
Obama made his address to a wall of jubilant sound, but there was a noticeable explosion of cheering when he thanked his campaign staff.
''To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics, the best, the best ever,'' he began, ''no matter what you do or where you go from here you will have the lifelong appreciation of a grateful president.'' The crowd, many of them staff or volunteers, sang and cheered, chanted and wept.
