I feel so lucky to have had the chance to go to Atlanta and attend both the Jim Martin and Saxby Chambliss election night parties. It was such a great experience as a reporter and the night was great. We started at Chambliss' party and spoke to a few people about their support for him and why they wanted him to win the race. Then it was on to Martin's party, where the cycle was repeated.
It was so interesting to see the differences between the two parties, from the location to the dress of the people in attendance to just the overall feel in the air. I would not have traded my experience for sitting in front of the TV all night watching history unfold on CNN. It was a wonderful experience to retire to a coffee shop and write up my portion of the article to submit before presstime. It's nice to see that Atlanta dateline.
