Live from Barr Campaign Election Headquarters on Tuesday Evening — 11/4/08. It’s not the posh Phoenix Biltmore where the McCain campaign’s set up, nor the half of Chicago that the Obama campaign rented for its celebration, but it’s a place of clear principle.
Update — 8:06 PM — Characteristic of this year for the LP, the connection is loading only intermittently. One might say that’s a sign of popularity, and an underestimation of capacity needed. Alternatively, perhaps somewhere in transmission difficulty is the difference between the $1.2 million raised and the $20 million proudly expected this spring.
No matter — at least one of the major campaigns will find that millions more were still insufficient.
Update — 8:14 PM — Back up — can’t keep a good Party, and a good party, down!
