I got an email from Delawarean in exile:
Hey. So I see Delaware is making some news today.
I just have to share my observation on last night. There was a brief moment on CNN right after they put the check mark next to O’Donnell’s name when the camera was fixed on the podium at her HQ, while Jessica Yellin was…well… yellin’ to be heard. I am convinced that none of them knew that anybody outside of the room could see them. There were all of these goofy superiority dances, failed attempts at organized cheer leading, etc. My favorite moment was when one guy gripped his plastic cup in his teeth while he pulled his pants up. (we’ve all seen that maneuver before, but usually at a tailgate.) It was magical. And then, suddenly, someone must have noticed that they were being seen live by everyone watching CNN. They all got pushed off stage, so that a preselected “representative sample of Delaware tax payers” could assume their backdrop positions.
For one brief moment, there was a glimpse of reality on the T.V. I am sure that the O’Donnell folks won’t let it happen again.
