Greetings From The Scene Of Hillary's Party Tonight
We're here at Baruch College in New York City -- just across town from TPM World Headquarters in the Flower District -- which is the site of tonight's victory party for Hillary.
Here, Hillary either will or won't end her presidential bid tonight. Or perhaps she'll merely concede that Obama has numerically clinched the nomination, without actually conceding defeat.
Here in the traveling press room are Maureen Dowd, Politico's Ben Smith, WaPo's Anne Kornblut, Newsday's Glenn Thrush (who wrote today's story on Mark Penn), and many other reporters.
The scene immediately drives home why it is that the big news orgs are cutting back on sending reporters to travel with the candidates. This isn't news to the traveling reporters, of course, but readers might be surprised to learn that we're all going to watch Hillary's victory (or defeat) speech on two big TVs, in a separate room, meaning that in some ways anyone watching the event on TV in their basement might be able to cover it every bit as effectively.
We'll be blogging tonight's results right here.
