PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA

Well the polls have closed and the results are in: Senator Barack Obama will be the first black US President (and truly the first African-American) in the White House.
His victory speech (text and video) holds lots of lessons for local politicians on how to be gracious in accepting victory, while his rival, Senator John McCain's speech (text and video) also has lessons for local politicians on how to concede defeat without dividing a nation.
