A few hundred students came out to the election party in McKenna Auditorium tonight.  The champagne was running low by 7:30 PM; Barack Obama was declared the president at 8 PM.  According to a recent poll, roughly 75% of students at CMC supported Obama, while 20% supported McCain.  More results from that poll will be forthcoming.  Thanks to the Claremont Democrats and Claremont Republicans (especially Kale Fein '11, who was blowing up balloons and readying the party all afternoon) for their work on this party.
