The triumph of democracy

The daily Correio da Manhã sees Obama's victory as a triumph of democracy. It writes that these US elections were the "most important of this century": "It may be premature to say this because the century has only just begun, but without doubt they constitute an important cornerstone for this century. ... A country that has presented one of the best election campaigns in history, that has found solutions for the political and economic crisis, but above all that involved society as a whole in the debate about its future is a shining example for the world. ... In these presidential elections, in which the turnout was so great, the true victor is democracy."
