NPR: Grant Park Dispatch #3: Where's Anderson?

Grant Park Dispatch #3: Where's Anderson?

The chosen few (read: the 75,000 with tickets) were let into the main event shortly before 8:00. They came running across the field to the gates, pushing their way to the front, waving American flags and their cameras, chanting Yes We Can and O-bama. One person could be heard above the rest yelling for Anderson Cooper. (Cooper is anchoring CNN's election night broadcast in New York, along with Wolf Blitzer, a panel of talking heads, and some holograms.)

How long they'll be waiting and chanting is anybody's guess, but nobody's doubting their enthusiasm.
