Minutes ago, thousands of Philadelphians gathered at City Hall in celebration of Obama’s win brought out the confetti.

Moments before, they chanted “Move Bush, get out the way.” Earlier, the crowd — which seems to be primarily made up of Penn students — chanted “Yes, he did.”

83 percent of voters in Philadelphia County voted for Barack Obama yesterday. And they have taken to the streets in celebration. Strangers are hugging and giving high fives. It’s all about the brotherly love in Philadelphia and among Penn students tonight.
