1. Overwhelmingly relieved, and hopeful

For editorials, The Guardian, The Times and the Financial Times all endorsed him, and I expect the Independent did too; even the Daily Mail came up with:

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".

There wasn't a particular anti-McCain feeling; but there is still a large anti-Bush opinion, and the nomination of Palin was viewed with a mixture of hilarity and horror.
