If you’re thinking of coming down to the Driskill to celebrate, please don’t – they couldn’t possibly fit one more Democrat into their ballroom. The scene here is just insane. A solid mass of humanity that sends up an ear-splitting roar every time another state goes for Obama.

Oh, darn: MSNBC just called Texas for McCain. No surprise there, but the vote totals are closer than they should be: McCain 54%, Obama 46%.

This article appears in John McCain.
