Throng blocks off Broad Street to celebrate Obama victory

Students filled the sidewalks in the Fan District and politicians fought back tears.

Broad Street was shut down from Belvidere to Lombardy streets while a crowd cheered and waved flags and Obama signs. Richmond police estimated more than 2,000 people filled the street.

At one point, the block in front of the Siegel Center was filled wall to wall with happy people. Then the throng moved east down Broad, chanting, "No more Bush" and "Yes we can."

Their numbers reduced to around 400, they gathered on the south side of Old City Hall and, facing the State Capitol, sang the Star-Spangled Banner.
