Final hours of US campaign dominate

Version 0 of 1.

On the day Americans choose their 44th president, the election in the US dominates most front pages.

Under the headline "America decides", the Times pictures Barack Obama and John McCain in silhouette.

The Independent calls their dashes across the US a "frantic, frenzied last lap" in the "longest and most expensive presidential race in history".

The Guardian's headline is "America's moment of truth", as it pictures two black Obama supporters at a rally.

'Poll position'

The Daily Mail is in little doubt that Barack Obama is heading for the White House.

The Mail speaks of him "knocking on the door of history" and a "day of destiny and hope".

According to the Sun, new Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton has thrown his weight behind Mr Obama.

"If I was over there I'd vote for Obama," he is quoted as saying. The headline in the Sun reads "Obama In Poll Position".

'Dizzy on pride'

There are plenty of pictures of Lewis Hamilton celebrating his dramatic Formula One world championship win.

The Sun says he has promised to win a hat-trick of titles - so he can claim his dream car, a McLaren F1 LM, in a bet with his team boss Ron Dennis.

The Daily Mirror says Hamilton celebrated by partying until 9am - but drank only two glasses of Champagne.

According to the Mirror, he said the only thing he was dizzy on was pride at becoming the youngest world champion.

Christmas stamps

The Daily Telegraph has dramatic pictures of a train ploughing into a car on a level crossing. Remarkably, in this case, the driver escaped injury.

It illustrates Network Rail's message that people are risking their lives by ignoring warnings at crossings.

Meanwhile, the Independent says Royal Mail has broken with tradition by offering both religious and secular Christmas stamps for 2008.

They include images from pantomimes such as Cinderella and Aladdin.
