I was at MSNBC's Election Watch at Rockefeller Center that night. They had the projected USA map on the ice rink that would color blue and red accordingly after a solid projection. They had big ribbons going up the RC to reach, go past the magic 270 EC number. The MSNBC crew were broadcasting in a big plastic box.

After we all cheered, and watch the Obama's smile, and wave, and Barrack give his speech I wandered I think towards the subway, or I deliberately headed towards Times Sq to see more coverage on the big screen. It was such a heady feeling I just didn't quite want to go home yet, and be with elated voters.

I get there, and eventually I see someone with that NYT's paper, and headline. Wow. I walk over to the NYT building.
I was able get one as bunches, and bunches all tied together were being ready to be loaded into trucks.
Exciting! 😄👍
