Scenes from around town on Election Night '08:

The Bush countdown clock hanging behind the reception desk at the Doug Fir.

A group of people watching Obama's victory speech in one of the Doug Fir's side rooms.

A photo of the lingering crowd at the Oregon GOP's party for Gordon Smith at the Benson Hotel.

Meanwhile, the scene outside.

If you squint you can see a few Republicans peering down at the crowd from the second floor.

And here's one of the "Barack socks" up for grabs in the main hall of the Convention Center.
