As election results rolled in Tuesday night, putting Barack Obama over the 270 mark, millions of people around the world celebrated the end of the Bush era and the possibility inherent in an Obama White House. At the Nation offices, writers and editors reacted with excitement and resolve. In this video produced by Nation contributor Brett Story, we take a peek inside The Nation's election night party and ask what comes next in the push for a progressive agenda. "Tonight we celebrate, said Nation Editor and Publisher Katrina Vanden Heuvel. "Tomorrow we go to work."
