We watched the CNN coverage over beer and ribs at Brother Jimmy's before heading down to Election Plaza at the Rockefeller Center. The center looked amazing and the mood was electric. There were very few Republicans in sight! They had replaced all the flags with American flags, and projected blue light onto half of the center and red light onto the other half. There was a 'Race to 270' display on the GE Building where a platform moved up the building whenever each party received electoral votes. The ice skating rink had a map of the US painted on it, and as each party won a state they painted it either red or blue. The crowd roared for at least 10 minutes when Obama passed 270- it was so exciting!
