I'm blogging from the Crowne Plaza hotel in St. Paul, where Democrats are holding what they hope will be a victory party.  Several of the hotel's conference rooms are packed with Obama supporters.  Spirits are high, and there has been lots of cheering throughout the evening as states are called for Obama.  Since Obama has won Minnesota, Democrats are now waiting to see how Al Franken does in his race against Sen. Norm Coleman for a seat in the U.S. Senate.
