DP reporter Colin Kavanaugh reports from Chicago that the city is celebrating Obama’s win and that large groups are crowding the streets.

Michigan Avenue and other streets near Grant Park, where Obama held his victory party and gave his acceptance speech, are all packed with people.

Police on horses were prepared to quell any riots or violence, but the celebrations have been peaceful. People have been taking pictures with the horses and petting them.
