GOP gathers at "The Underground"

The coffee house, adorned in red, white and blue decorations, hosts local Republicans as results pour in from across the nation. The party is just beginning, but some fear the celebration may end on a sour note.


"We're pretty clear on who is gonna win tonight," said Tiffany Parrish, a Harding student.


"We're expecting an Obama win," said Chris Schandevel, President of College Republicans. "I'm just hoping that if we have to go through an Obama win that it will work towards the betterment of the country."

A screen tuned into Fox News is the main attraction. Local residents and Harding students mingle together as the numbers come in.

It looks like a large group is at GOP party in Searcy-are there any local politicians there?

Hmmm... we didn't really have time to figure all that out. Things sorta happened faster than all of us thought tonight.
