Election night - Yeas and boos
In the main room of the Utah Democrats' election-night party, it's fun to play "emotional rollercoaster" with the crowd noise.
When a new batch of electoral-vote projections flashed on the TV monitors, the yeas and the boos alternated.
"Obama wins Iowa" - "YEA!"
McCain wins Utah" - "BOO!"
More cheers and boos came with KSL's projections in the Utah races. They cheered for Rep. Jim Matheson in Utah's 2nd District, booed for new Congressman-elect Jason Chaffetz in the Republican-heavy 3rd, more cheers for Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon - and a big cheer when Randy Horiuchi, in a close race for Salt Lake County Council, was declared the winner.
But the biggest and longest cheers came whenever a TV crew started shooting the crowd.
