At the Obama watch party, people couldn't have been more excited for their candidate. They high-fived, hugged and chanted back and forth like at a football game.

"Fired Up and Ready to Go," is the slogan the Obama campaign picked up at a campaign stop in South Carolina from an older councilwoman.

Earlier tonight, at a caucus location, the vibe was much the same. It's very different than what you might see at a polling place.

The republicans at one certain caucus location were mostly supporting John McCain, but they also said they weren't overly surprised that Mike Huckabee had a strong showing against Mitt Romney.

Both parties are going to go long into the night, and they hope the momentum will carry long into January and February.
