Did Keith Olbermann choke up when he called the winner on Tuesday Night?

I'm watching the video again and it sounded like he choked up a little bit.

1. It sure sounded like it to me but they never showed his face so I'm not positive.

I think so though.

[BelgianMadCow]

2. Yep. He swallowed it but it was clear.

I understand, with his passion..
good they gave the statement to him.

[DrPresident]

4. I was SOOOO glad Keith called it

he deserved that moment.

[alsame]

3. Sure sounded like it. I watch him every night and I've never heard

his voice crack like that before.

5. did anyone see David Shuster on Wednesday talking about grant park?

During his afternoon anchor segment, he talked about being there and his face was scrunched up in a way I have never seen before, like he didn't want to get emotional. I thought maybe I was just projecting, but later on Hardball, he made the same scrunched up face...haha. I don't think he loves Obama or anything, probably just the experience of being there was a powerful.

6. no....

there was no trace in his voice IMO anyway...

[lamp_shade]

7. I certainly did notice it.

[Larry in KC]

8. I know that Jon Stewart did. It was a good moment.

...it was hard for him to play along with the Colbert gag that immediately followed, and maybe also for Colbert to do the gag and stay in character, rather than go with what he was really thinking about it.

[TexasObserver]

12. Yes, Jon was literally overwhelmed there for ten seconds.

He wanted to cry.

[budkin]

9. What a moment that was... I will never forget it as long as I live!

[MadBadger]

10. I think he did, and it was really nice of MSNBC and Gregory to let him make the call

Gregory clearly passed off the call to KO like it was natural that he should make the call

[MadrasT]

11. I thought he did at the time,

and I was THRILLED that Keith was the one who got to make the announcement.
