Hopeful

Filed at 7:53 p.m.

At The North Carolina Republican Party election celebration, those who have come early are hopeful that Sen. John McCain can pull out a victory tonight.

"I've been feeling a bit pestimistic," said Aloma Crenshaw, a McCain supporter. "It's going to be a tight race and hopefully we can pull out a victory tonight."

Regardless of the outcome, this American will support our new president. "I'm still hopeful for McCain and I have worked hard for him," she said recalling her work at the Republican National Convention earlier this year. "But Obama will be my president and I will support him."
