Attorney General Roy Cooper’s speech was interrupted by the wildest cheers yet as CNN projected Virginia for Obama. A Obama victory seems all-but-certain as this point to those in the crowd. Even the McCain camp seems to be becoming dejected, CNN reports.

With eyes red and a hint of tiredness, they wait restlessly for the official call.

David Price addressed the crowd moments ago, lauding the achievements of “President Barack Obama” and the “team for change,” also congratulating his new colleague in Congress, State sen. Kay Hagan.
