25 election front pages let pictures speak louder with words

Photography dominated most of today’s front pages, with very few words announcing President Obama’s re-election. Several of the papers below illustrate the power of a single word. A few papers (shown at bottom) chose to combine images of Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney, his GOP opponent. All papers appear courtesy of the Newseum; some have been cropped to remove ads.
