DeKalb County residents respond to Obama's win

Jaclyn Butz clicked between CNN and Fox News coverage of the national election results Tuesday, amused at their different approaches to President Barack Obama’s emerging victory.

The DeKalb woman fell asleep not too long after Republican challenger Mitt Romney’s concession speech, pleased that the nation would not be led by a man whose views on marriage, foreign policy and abortion she disliked.

“I was excited it was not nearly as close as they predicted it would be,” Butz said Wednesday.
