Barack Obama : The race for the White House
On May 31, Obama told a Montanta crowd: "I'm here to report after traveling 15 months, after visiting 48 states, after speaking to hundreds of thousands of people and shaking hundreds of thousands of hands and kissing hundreds of thousands babies, I am here to report my bet has paid off, because all across the country, the American people have said they are ready for change. And Montana, it is your turn on Tuesday to stand up." J. Pat Carter / Associated Press
