When news of President Obama's victory trickled in, the party was just getting started for Los Angeles democrats.

"This is what it's all about. It's all about the vote. Money cannot buy an election... I am fired up!" Brenda Anderson, 50, who works with Mayor Villaraigosa, was one of the first in the crowd at the L.A. Democratic Party to take notice of CNN's projection that President Obama had reclaimed office. Pumping her fist in the air and screaming wildly, her energy spread like wildfire as celebratory music began blaring. 

"It took [President Obama] four years to get us out of the recession and start showing progress and these next four years are going to be very exciting," she said.

The L.A. Democratic Party, which hosted an impassioned crowd of over 300 at Dodger Stadium on election night, heralded in the news of President Obama's re-election with chants of "Four more years" and "Si se puede."

Nancy Guarneros, a UCLA PHd student in education, said she was refreshing the Huffington Post results page every 10 minutes.

"It was a very close election, but I was definitely very happy, relieved!" she said. "I was very happy as a student, as someone who works with immigrant rights, undocumented students. Obama was definitely the right choice for us. Now what has to happen is that Obama has to keep his promises."

Despite the joviality sparked by the President's re-election, others in the crowd weren't quite ready to celebrate yet.

Many in attendance, including union members, awaited news of Proposition 30– which would provide more funds to education by raising taxes on high-income residents and raising sales tax by 1/4 of a cent.

"Education is something that you never are going to take away from your child. As a grandmother and a parent, that's the best thing i can do for my kids… give them an education," said Sonia Ortiz. Ortiz is a mother of two who proudly talks about her daughter who is studying to be a medical assistant.  She is also a grandmother of four and a home caregiver for the elderly and disabled. Proposition 30 would especially benefit her grandchildren who are just starting to go to school.

Proposition 30 had been a close call for the majority of the evening.

"I'm feeling really good about a lot of things, but I just saw Prop 30 is behind by 4 [percentage points]," said Matthew Kogan, 51, a teacher from Los Angeles. As a teacher for the past 20 years, Kogan is worried he could lose his job if the proposition fails to pass. His colleague, Mike Gonzales, 35, just lost his job as a kindergarten teacher in June after 6 years with the L.A. Unified School District.

"[Education] is just going over a cliff," said Kogan, mentioning that California's schools have lost $20 billion over the past two decades.  

"And we're going to lose $6 billion this year along with 15 school days if [Prop 30] doesn't pass," Gonzales added.

Being out of work, Gonzales took the opportunity to help encourage voting. He's been going door-to-door over the past few weeks to ensure people knew where their polling location was and when Election Day was.

"I've been in some of the most dangerous parts of L.A. and I have been overwhelmed by how much love people have shown when I've come to their doors," Gonzales said. "They welcomed me with open arms."

Suzette Martinez's excitement also abated quickly while watching Proposition 34's odds fall. If Prop 34 passed it would replace the death penalty with life without parole.

"It was a welcomed surprise to have such good news come in on a federal level, but that sigh of relief has shifted to more waiting and nervousness," she said. Martinez, 31, has been a Prop 34 volunteer making calls over the past month to encourage a "yes" vote on the proposition. 

Still, L.A. Democratic Party Chair Eric Bauman said he would not lose confidence in Prop 30 and, instead, planned on losing sleep.

"I've been hopeful all night [that Proposition 30] would go through. L.A.'s votes are only just coming in, so wait until at least midnight for the results," he said. 

Despite his heed, the party cleared out shortly after President Obama's victory speech at 11 p.m.
