BUSH WINS

PRESIDENT George W. Bush said last night “America has spoken” as he claimed a historic victory in his bid for re-election and pledged to reach across partisan lines. He told supporters he was set to forge ahead on goals such as stabilizing Iraq and overhauling Social Security. “America has spoken and I'm humbled by the trust and the confidence of my fellow citizens,” he said.
The majority of U.S. citizens living in Spain voted for Democrat challenger, John Kerry, according to a Madrid-based spokesman for Americans Overseas for Kerry. He said that an estimated 70 percent of the thousands of U.S. citizens in the country had voted for change. In the Balearics many U.S. voters said that they disappointed at the result but the handful of Republicans claimed a historic victory.
