Print news publications did not predict the overwhelming desire for a piece of history and printed proof that Obama is the President Elect. Newsstands were empty mid-day on Wednesday and now copies of the various newspapers are being sold for as much as 200 dollars on e-bay.

Most front pages have a gigantic photo of Obama and a short headline about change, plays on his campaign slogans, history or victory. Above is a collage from the Chicago Sun Times.
