A tale of two campaign parties

Just got off the phone with News 8's Kevin Jolly. He's at 289 on Alexander Street in Rochester, where the local Hillary Clinton campaign has gathered to watch tonight's results.

Kevin said the mood is surprisingly subdued, considering Clinton's victory in New York. He said most of the people inside are gathered at the bar, and are being quiet.

It's quite a contrast with the local Obama campaign, who watched tonight's results unfold at Nathaniel's on Exchange Boulevard in Rochester. Kevin said every Obama victory was met with a resounding cheer. The mood was very upbeat.

It seems like Clinton and Obama are splitting states. New Jersey went to Clinton; moments later Alabama went to Obama.
