The Midland Theater in Kansas City is now full of supporters for Democratic attorney general candidate Chris Koster and Presidential nominee Barack Obama.

Some people are so excited they aren't sitting down, but rather gripping the theatre's railings as numbers come in.
John Kelley, a Democratic supporter, says he predicts Koster will sweep the attorney general race even though right now Republican Senator Mike Gibbons is slightly ahead.

The crowd continues to grow, as do the hopes of the Democrats.
