CBS2 HD reports: While Barack Obama is looking ahead, many of his supporters are still buzzing about his victory. From Harlem to Times Square and beyond, millions of New Yorkers are showing their excitement about the way last night's election turned out as all three major newspapers have seen their papers sell out Wednesday.
By Wednesday night, there was still a line of dozens wrapped around the New York Times building with people waiting to grab one of the 275,000 extra copies that the Times printed in an effort to keep up with demand. They are selling the newspapers at the paper's headquarters at 41st and Eighth Avenue, and people have been waiting in line for hours to nab one.
It is literally a New York Times bestseller. Today's edition announcing the election of Barack Obama as President of the United States sold out citywide despite 200,000 extra copies delivered to newsstands.
The line running around the block at the Times headquarters is all the more extraordinary in an age where most people read the paper online. Today, though, the digital image just wouldn't do.
Times officials admit they were prepared for high demand, but not of such incredible volume.
And when the extra load arrives, the patiently-waiting crowd erupted in applause.
If you would like your copy of this historic edition of the times, you'll have to hurry to the Times headquarters at Eighth Avenue and 41st Street, or go to Grand Central or Penn Station.
As for the tabloids: NY Daily News printed an extra 100,000 copies and sold out. The NY Post is selling briskly, as well.
