Reuters broke the news to Barack Obama’s chief strategist David Axelrod that television networks were calling a victory for his candidate.
“That’s great news,” he said. “Obviously this turnout has been beyond anybody’s expectations. I think there was a hunger for change in this country,” Obama chief strategist David Axelrod told Reuters.
Obama supporters were let into the site of the campaign’s after-caucus party shortly after the networks began calling the race.
“Ole Ole Ole Ole, Obama, Ole,” they chanted as they watched the television screens.

Thanks for picking up on our cheer…a few papers thought we were Spanish-speaking supporters cheering on Obama…Rather, we were as enthusiastic as World Cup Soccer fans…This is huge for our nation…and our spirits are high! Thanks Reuters.
