Want to know what your favorite NYC Social thought of this week's election results? We have been on the phone, on facebook, and email all week to get some of our favorite "guests" reactions.  We have added several additions and will be continuing to as we get so make sure and check back! Some recent additions: Go HERE for the full list!

  • Douglas Marshall: "Was Palin planning on living in the whitehouse or was she going to dock her trailor in the back yard of the WH"
  • Paul Johnson Calderon: "I am very proud that we have come together as a country in support of change. Isn't it just a miracle to be a part of this generation? Although we aren't progressing at the speed of light, this is a definite start. Thank the good lord that awful backwoods beauty queen isn't going to be anywhere near the white house!"
  • Nick Raynes: "I think that the election results will represent a positive change in our country and peoples attitudes. I am proud to have Barack Obama as our president and this marks a very historic and monumental time for the American people."
  • Kristian Laliberte: "When we were watching the "Yes We Can" speech after Obama took to the stage, someone at the small election night party I attended remarked, "this is something our kids will have to learn in 5th grade." I could hear the screams of joy all down Houston and despite my 101 fever I ran out with my friends to an impromptu post-election rally on Ludlow and felt like I was part of history. More»

The Democratic Leadership for the 21st Century (DL21C), decided to host their Election Day party at a venue that matches up with their long, big name. New World Stages, located on West 50th Street , actually boasts about 60, 000 sq feet of space which was taken over by DL21C last night. Guests watched the states' results on 15 feet screen projections elections surrounded by patriotic balloons, booze, and pro-Obama accessories. Guests included the cast of the hit show Altar Boyz, Chris London, Council Memmber Eric Gioia, Luke Parkin, Michael Cooper, Elizabeth Caputo, Jack Layton and of course many, many more!

"It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America." [Obama's Speech after winning presidency]

As I'm typing this I am hearing ROARS from Bowery.  I have never believed in democracy more than I do tonight. I have never been so proud to be an American. Whether Democrat or Republican, male or female, black, white, or purple...this has never been more of your country than it is tonight!  How lucky are we all to witness such a profound act of character as in the video above?  How lucky are we that get to live in the best city in the best country in the world? The men that we chose in this election to represent our parties were class acts.  They have both made me proud to call this country mine. God Bless America, and no matter where we lie in our differences of opinion, may we all unite to support Obama in this, the toughest job in the world.
