8:18pm: Okay things are going to get rough and wild from this point forward, so I will update with new posts instead of individual updates on this one post. Thanks for staying with us so far... stick around.

8:12pm: It took us forever, but we finally found Travis County Democratic Party Chair Andy Brown for a quick interview. Here he is with Olga Campos. Big night for Travis County Dems. The only Republican in office in Travis County, County Commissioner Gerald Daugherty, may be unseated.

7:55pm: It just took me ten minutes to walk twenty feet through the crowd out there.

7:44pm: I'm hearing that CNN is projecting later than other states... but the crowds at the Driskill are watching CNN, so they just learned Obama won Pennsylvania.

7:19pm: Elected officials are getting in here now, I caught Councilmember Mike Martinez and Mayor Will Wynn... here's Wynn in the crowd. So far early voting numbers show Austin's proposition 2 failing by a 48%For- 52%Against vote.

7:15pm: The crowd really exploded within the last twenty minutes. With big projection screens on four walls, everyone has a place to watch John King and his holograms.

6:57pm: Look above for my latest vlog. It takes about five seconds.

6:42pm: The crowd goes wild... CNN reports Obama won about one precinct in North Carolina.

6:38pm: Interesting tidbit that rocks my world: Larry Joe Doherty, running in CD 10, was a TV judge on Texas Justice. But he's not actually a judge. Why? You're not allowed to actually be a TV judge if you are a real judge. So it goes for Judge Judy, etc.

6:12pm: Some cheering and clapping when Vermont was called for Obama. Otherwise just a handful of people in here so far.

5:48pm: More people are filing in here, including Kyle Johnson of a small Austin based company, BumperActive. Is he a little premature with these victory bumper stickers?

Kyle Johnson's betting on Obama to win.

5:38pm: Report from GOP Victory party at the Four Seasons -- they are playing the "Big Bad John" video over and over. My friend Craven says he hopes Cornyn wears the fringed jacket (from the video) tonight.
