Call me old-fashioned, but I'm going to have to say that the Chicago papers. The Sun Times went with a very narrow-focused portrait of the president elect, and I think it works quite well -- but it isn't the home run that the MLK and Obama mirror was, while the Trib cover carrier the "new traditionalism" of the redesign. But let's check out the other regions.
I find it delightful that nearly all are incredibly triumphant, from "Yes He Did!" (Huntsville Times) to the San Bernadino Sun's "HISTORY." Some go with the simple -- (Obama wins) and others choose the superlative (Historymaker). We in the press love a good story, and Obamamania certainly provided it.

The best papers, in my opinion, were the ones that tried to stay objective. "History" is a little much. I suppose it's true, but it comes off wrong. It comes off as support for Obama. Maybe that's a good thing. I just think most of the papers should have read "Obama Wins" and left it at that.
