CHICAGO — Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama on Tuesday blew off the tension as he waited for voters to decide his fate with his traditional election day game of pick-up basketball.
The Illinois senator’s entourage pulled up at a gym on the west side of Chicago during the middle of the afternoon.
His presidential campaign declined to identify who he was playing with.
Obama, 47, forged his tradition of playing basketball during the long wait for voters to cast their judgements during the intense Democratic primary campaign against Hillary Clinton.
The ritual, which also seems to have taken on superstitious undertones, started with the Iowa caucuses in January, which Obama won over Clinton, setting his historic presidential quest off on a winning note.
