Transcript of Remarks of President-Elect Barack Obama
Election Night
Tuesday, November 4th, 2008
Grant Park
Chicago, Illinois

Although CNN, ABC, NBC, and Fox News were relying on projections to place states like Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Florida, and Ohio for Senator Obama, the unusually large turnout numbers make these news networks willing to announce these projections.
