One of the pundits this morning said there is a "palpable sense of joy" in Washington today. That's true of my home town too.
Barack Obama and Joe Biden carried Massachusetts in November with 62% of the vote.
In Cambridge, 88% of voters cast their ballot for Obama-Biden, second only to the small town of Aquinnah where 90% of the 311 voters cast votes for Obama.
There are a lot of very happy people in Cambridge today - though I don't think happy is a strong enough word. Jubilant, delighted, ecstatic, overwhelmed.... It's a beautiful day.
Cantabrigians often broadcast their thoughts, obsessions, affiliations and more on their bumpers.
Here's a sampling of the amazing variety of Obama bumperstickers found on cars in Cambridge this week - some a bit the worse for wear. Nary a McCain sticker in sight though I do remember seeing at least one or two over the last year.
