Election Day memories - 2000

The night of the infamous 2000 general election, I was at Nassau Coliseum watching a hockey game. Maybe 10,000 people there. The results of the election were being posted like out of town scores in the arena. They had the Bush-Gore race and Hillary Clinton's senate race among others. Nobody cared about the hockey game. At the concession stands, the TVs were tuned to the news. Who knew it was just the beginning of a very long night.
