Local Democrats and Republicans will be congregating at separate locations for primary night results. The suspense is likely not there on the Republican side with Giuliani dropping out, McCain looks good to repeat his 2000 win. On the Democratic side, it could be Hillary or Obama, depending on which poll you might want to believe. Either way, campaign flunkies will be be in gear to beer.
