Democrats Abroad thrilled at Obama win

Four more years.

A Democrat Party club met at Ceilis pub on Granville to watch the U.S. election, and were happy with the result.

When word came through that Barack Obama had won the election, members of the Vancouver chapter of Democrats Abroad could hardly contain themselves.

“It was crazy in here…people applauding and crying wildly…I was expecting dancing in the streets when I came out into Granville Street here…there was cheering and people waving flags and jumping up and down. It was great.”

While members of the club all seemed optimistic this would be the result, some say they were surprised the result came through so early in the night.
