STORYLINE:
Democrat Barack Obama was elected the first African-American president of the United States on Tuesday night in a historic triumph that overcame racial barriers as old as America itself.
After a sometimes thrilling, sometimes bumpy run in the national spotlight, Alaska saw its governor defeated for US vice president.
Alaskans in Palin's hometown expressed disappointment in the election results.
The evening started with excitement as Palin's friends and family held election night parties all over Wasilla.
But the mood quickly changed as the returns from the lower 48 states began to come in.
Although Palin's supporters said they'll be glad to have the Governor back to finish her term, they said people haven't heard the last of Palin on the national stage.
Palin, largely unknown nationally when McCain tapped her as his running mate, quickly became a star.
The Alaska governor excited the GOP (Grand Old Party - traditional name for the Republican party) base, especially evangelical voters, but critics dismissed her political resume as brief and light on substance.
In the Senate race, voters were deciding whether to overlook Ted Stevens' convictions and re-elect the Republican who has represented Alaska in Washington, DC, for 40 years.
Stevens led with 48 percent of the vote compared with 47 percent for Begich, with 66 percent of precincts reporting.
