A classic from 2004. CNS

>>Boston (CNSNews.com) - As President George Bush edged closer to the 270 electoral votes necessary to secure re-election, supporters of Democratic nominee John Kerry openly wept and consoled each other at the Election Night celebration in Boston’s Copley Square. Some Kerry supporters called Bush’s platform “all lies” and heckled a group of College Republicans who were passing through the crowd.

>>A distraught woman confronted Democratic U.S. Rep. Harold Ford in the lobby of the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel and screamed, “Can you tell me why everybody made a mistake?” Ford responded, “Let me talk to the candidate before I make a comment. It’s been a long day.”
Another woman standing near Ford began to openly weep at the prospect of a Kerry loss.

When CNSNews.com asked why he had confidently predicted a Kerry victory just a few hours earlier, Davis responded, “I, like many people saw the exit polls, which saw Kerry ahead in every battleground state.”

“We believed they were a precursor of a great evening,” a somber Davis explained.

Meanwhile, outside Kerry’s Copley Square rally, a contingent of College Republicans from Northeastern University marched through the sea of Kerry supporters and got heckled.

“You vote for Bush, you get what you deserve,” shouted Kerry supporter Bob Bryant to the GOP contingent.

Another man shouted to the Republicans “This is why the rest of the world calls us ignorant Americans. You obviously don’t read the newspapers or you would not believe as you do.”

A woman, unhappy the Republicans were there, screamed, “someone shut up those idiots.’

Brian Henchey, one of the College Republicans marching through the crowd told CNSNews.com that he had “never seen more sad and depressed faces in my life than what I have seen here in Copley Square tonight.”
