The calm before the swarm.

The scene at Alligator Election Night Headquarters is dim, reminiscent of last Spring’s runoff. Now that was a real snoozer.

Right now, the crowd at the Orange & Brew is the usual motley media crew: The six members of the Alligator team and our across-town rival from the Sun.

So we sit, and we wait. And we watch the Teddy Geiger and Fergie videos being piped onto the oversized TV screen.
