November 3rd, 1992CNN Headquarters"We are currently analyzing certain results throughout the country and we are seeing that it is going to be very hard for President Bush to win this. We now go live to the Decision Desk for a major projection-"
Booming crowds went off all throughout Clinton Headquarters. You can hear the cries of joy and the screams from everyone in the room. As signs were waving in the air, President-Elect Clinton walked on stage.
"Thank you so much all of you. This is a win for a New America, and one that is going to work. I'm honored to get to serve you all..."
