More than 2,000 students took to the streets last night after John McCain conceded the election to Barack Obama, according to the Richmond-Times Dispatch. Several blocks of Richmond's Broad St. were blocked off by Richmond and VCU Police, who allowed the students to parade all the way to the capitol.

Madeline Dell-Aria, 18, a  VCU student, said she found an Obama flag and turned it into a poncho-shirt.  "It's just so great and there's finally going to be some change. We all just started parading, impromptu parading," she said.
