Scenes of Obama-Rama
Obama supporters waited patiently in the Hyatt Grand Ballroom for hours. Obama's party started at 6 p.m., but the host didn't appear until well after 10 p.m.
Volunteers on stage behind the podium scrambled to show just how much they believe in change. Spirits were high as Senator Obama claimed victory in his home state Tuesday night.
Pam Johnson, a Chicago-based volunteer for the Obama campaign, reacts to the senator's victories in important primaries.
Michelle Obama brought energy and Nancy-Reagan-Red to the stage as Barack addressed a crowd of supporters in Chicago Tuesday night.
Volunteers amused themselves with songs, chants and tons of digital snapshots to memorialize the evening.
Obama smiles as he greets the anxious crowd gathered at the Hyatt to help him celebrate a mixed win on Tuesday night. The telegenic senator's smile was bright, but his exhaustion was obvious.
Jerry and Anita Jenkins stand together in the crowd of supporters for Obama late on Super Tuesday.
Senator Barack Obama and wife Michelle leave the stage after his speech on Super Tuesday, but spent another 15 minutes greeting supporters and posing for photographs. The couple smiled and stood closely after a draining political week.

Yeah - thanks for endorsing Todd Stroger, Barak. Nothing like backing the patronage stooge who's going to hurt the poor by raising the price of bread.
Too bad you couldn't give us the kind of change your campaigning for before you left us to the crooks you endorsed.
