The Et Cetera crew is back in the newsroom. For most of us, the experience is a new one and we can now say that we have attended an election watch party. My personal experience is marked by a new-found respect for journalism as a whole. I have also learned that Republicans can definitely throw a party.
The mood at the Hotel Palomar in Dallas was more than jubilant and the ballroom was packed. The food, and even some drinks, were free and, for the most part, delicious. It's been brought to my attention that those who wanted food at the Democratic watch party would have to pay for it at outrageous prices. Isn't it a little ironic that Democrats decided to skip on free food for supporters when most Republicans accuse them of spending wildly left and right?
Election results are still coming in across the state and the nation, and I'm sure that Republicans are continuing their party elsewhere amid the (so far) favorable polls. As for me, I will await the rest of the results as I attempt to decompress following such a red, rowdy party.
