The American Legion in Fairhope erupted in cries of joy, smiles and laughter Tuesday night when CBS news officially declared Barack Obama the winner in the 2008 Presidential Election. Hundreds of Obama supporters gathered at the social hall after the polls closed for a "watch party" sponsored by the Eastern Shore Democrats.
Baldwin County Democratic Party chairman James Sears told News 5 Obama's victory will open new doors for Democrats across Alabama and in Baldwin County. Sears says Democrats have never had a strong voice in Baldwin County, but says Obama's win will strengthen his party for years to come.
