They're having a Hillary for President Official Results Watching Party in Center City tonight! I wasn't going to go, but when they called and said Philly's mayor Nutter and a Clinton "may" be there, I've decided to go. The lady I spoke with said they're very excited about the exit polls in both Ohio and Texas. They must know something I don't because I don't think they'd plan an event like this if they thought they'd lose tonight. And they must know how to get me to do something. Just tell me a Clinton might be there..lol.

I'm not nervous anymore!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!

I will report back. I'm going to try to find some other folks who are going, but I'm gonna go anyway. I'm skeptical about a Clinton being there since they're all in OH or TX tonight I'm sure but my luck, if I didn't go, they'd be there..lol.

Have fun tonight. I really wish I opted to study abroad next year rather than this year (I'm missing all the crazy events).

They said maybe Chelsea, which would be really cool. I'll let you guys know. Right now I'm trying to get in touch with folks around here to see who else is going.

Btw, my college roomie in Dallas just posted a MySpace bulletin urging everyone to vote for Hillary today.:)

I can relate to that. Hopefully we can help you feel a little bit of what it's like to be here.

I'm missing out too, I'm stuck in Canada! I connect here! It's great to have you with us.

I wanted to go to Texas and couldn't put the airmiles together BUT Pennsylvania might be doable.

Have fun tonight anyone who is going to an event to watch the results!!

Okay, I'm home, but I HAVE to get in bed since I have to work in the morning. But tonight was AMAZING. I'll have more details later but I met the Mayor of Philadelphia and was interviewed by three Philly media outlets. I have no voice from screaming and cheering and met some amazing people. Tonight was the most fun I've had in a long time.

I got a bit emotional listening to Hillary, realizing how big this was for me and how long this journey has been.

NEXT UP: PENNSYLVANIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When she said "This race will go on to the people of Pennsylvania" the entire room exploded. And the place was PACKED. It was amazing.

Such a great recap and so glad to hear that the place was packed and energized for her. It's the beginning of some amazing things to come, I bet! Can't wait to hear more details about your night!

Well there was no Clinton but there was the Mayor of Philadelphia. Michael Nutter, a Clinton surrogate, showed up and spent a lot of time talking with people, taking pictures and hanging out. I got to meet him and he is such a nice, gracious man to talk to. In the almost 29 years I've been from this area, I'd never had the chance to meet Philly's mayor so it was pretty cool. There was a lot of media coverage. When one the news stations interviewed Nutter, a crowd of us stood behind him with Hillary signs, it was so fun! I got interviewed by three media outlets, talked about Hillary and what this campaign means to me and everyone else and why I'm not voting for Obama. At one point the KYW1060 woman said "Anything else you want to say?" and I just yelled "GO HILLARY!!"

The crowd was intense!! They got so many people to turn out, black, white, young, old, male and female. They had a spread of food for us too which was great since I hadn't eaten since lunch that day. Drink specials were great (Nothing like $2 Miller Lites..lol). All night, Denane Wambach kept saying "Don't worry about Texas" and boy she was right.

The most fun was when CNN called a state for Hillary. Especially Ohio, man the place just went nuts!! I made friends with some really cool teachers, and we all ended up leaving together around midnight. Within minutes of getting home, they called Texas for her. It was great.

Everyone went nuts during Hillary's speech. Especially when she mentioned going onto PA, the place erupted. I stood there watching her and my eyes welled up with tears. All the emotion I've invested into all of this for 16 years started to hit me and realizing that it's coming to PA and I'm finally going to have my say and I'm finally going to get to vote for a Clinton. It was great. I was definitely overtired today at work but it was worth it. I am going to love the next 7 weeks!! :)

Hi there Clinton1992! Thank you so much for blogging this info! I'm from Philly, but have been living in Los Angeles for the last eight years. I am going to be coming home for about a week as the primary gets closer to help volunteer, so I am going to message you here in the forum to give you my e-mail address.

Also, if anyone can make calls to Wyoming, please message me, I have an activation call sheet that allows you to make calls for Hillary toll-free. Just message me here, I will send you my e-mail address, then e-mail me, and I will send you the call sheet.

What a great recount of last night's events for you. I'm so excited for you that you got to enjoy such a great time with fellow Hillary supporters, as well as make new friends. It sounds like an awesome time.

Look forward to hearing about all the great things up in PA that will be happening!

Clinton Fan, what a great experience, thanks for sharing with us. I have volunteered to drive up to help out the campaign in PA. I'll keep in touch when I hear something from the campaign. I'd like to meet some folks that have been blogging on Hill's site and here.
