Before the cheering section arrived

At North Carolina State University's Reynolds Coliseum, where Barack Obama will speak later tonight, the big screen TVs are on and NBC projected Obama as the winner of the North Carolina primary. Usually when this happens on primary nights, the Obama crowds go wild. But it was only 7:30 p.m. – they hadn’t even started letting the cheering section in yet. It was just several dozen journalists and a scattering of Obama campaign volunteers and organizers. So instead of the usual waves of sustained roaring and cheering, there were little burst of “Woo-hoo” and clapping over on the right-hand side of the still mostly-empty room.
