The Democrats are flipping out…after counting down to polls closing on the West Coast, earth shattering cheers of “USA!” and “Yes We Can!” rang out through the Westbury Manor.
Nassau Democratic heavy hitters took to the stage, each telling the crowd to remember this moment. An elderly black woman erupted into tears next to me as Nassau County Supervisor Tom Suozzi gave a rousing celebratory speech.
The only thing louder than the clinking of glasses and the shouts of joy was the booing at Sarah Palin’s mention in McCain’s concession speech.
Wins have also been announced over here for Carolyn McCarthy, Earlene Hooper, Craig Johnson, and a slew of others. Word is that the Democrats are still watching the 6th District state Senate race, but my source at the GOP headquarters is saying Hannon’s being announced as victorious.
