After the NPR Blogger Meet-up ended I started to walk back to the hotel but decided instead to follow the honking horns. Near what I think is the Verizon Center, I saw a crowd of people celebrating the Obama victory. Drunken, slap happy, post-election bliss went on for the next hour or so. Here’s a link to my flickr photostream.

I thought it possible that we could get three, but the data just wasn’t there to support it. As I write this, not only did Gerry Connolly win, but it appears that Glenn Nye (02) and Tom Perriello (05) have also won. This was the big blue wave that I thought we’d see in Virginia in 2006.

I toured the studios - like a beehive of activity - very complicated, to be honest, and people in head-down working mode.

Malcolm, president and founder of EMILY’s List, on the election of Barack Obama as the next president of the United States: “What a proud moment in our nation’s history.

With nearly 63% of the vote counted, Nye has about a 3,500 vote lead. However, at this time, 56% of the precincts in Virginia Beach - which makes up about 70% of the district - are not in. Nye has done well, though, by winning on the Eastern Shore, always a tough area for Democrats. This race remains too close to call.
