It's not like we thought for a split second that McCain would take CA, OR, or WA; but we had to wait for the "official" announcement to WOOT!WOOT! for Obama. And yes, by 11:02pm, you could hear fireworks, happy gunfire, and jubilant horn honks in the neighborhood.

We had taken a brief break from the news and all of a sudden we heard cheers and (exhuberant) gunshots outside; that's when we knew Obama had won.
