Making the Most of It

Photographs by Charles Ommanney /Getty Images for NEWSWEEK
The polls showed that the race was his to win, but Sen. Barack Obama never slowed down the final four days of his campaign. He zigzagged across the country, visiting battleground states including Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Indiana, Colorado and Missouri before heading back to Chicago to cast his own vote. We're sure he's tired, but you can hardly tell from the following photos captured during the final days of the campaign by photographer Charles Ommanney, on assignment for NEWSWEEK. At right, Sen. Obama, wife Michelle, Jill Biden and Sen. Joe Biden greet the crowd after Obama’s victory speech.
