Election Night in NYC
I spent election night in NYC, and was in Times Square when CNN announced that Obama won. I don't have any emotional attachment to any candidate, but from the looks of things, just about everyone in NYC was cheering for Obama. The excitement was literally visible in the air.
I saw people dancing in the street and crying when the announcement was made. I also got to watch both candidate speeches, and I think that they did a good job (based on watching a single speech from each). Obama can talk. Watching his victory speech, I was impressed not by the content, but by his oratory skills.
People kept throwing "historic event" whenever I walked, and I think that I concur, I am happy to be there when I was, and I certainly going to remember this for a long time.

There's a zen quality to that sentence :).
I hope while you're here you go to no. 28 carmine for pizza!

Yeah, that's the problem. Politicians hold the same irrational beliefs about government policy that the voters do, but they sure can convince people they know what they're doing!
