And the Band Played On

I'm here at the RNC party in DC, and when Fox News called Ohio for Obama, a short hush came over the crowd, and then the band continued to play "We Are Family" as partygoers went back to their conversations. Tonight hasn't been much of a surprise, and the crowd here was bracing for the worst. They seem to be distracting themselves right now with cocktails, desserts, and the multiple meat carving stations. I, for one, am regretting that I already ate dinner.
