Spot the staffer

The Hillary people set up a "watch party" for people in Iowa to see the nominee announce her nomination again.  Althouse: "A wan watch party."

A grand total of five people showed up.  Well, six if you include the Clinton staffer.  Can you spot him in the CNN video?

Iowans bump into three live candidates every time they turn a street corner. Why would they go anywhere to see one on TV?

Also, it's just a recurring Nelson Muntz "HA ha!" storyline that the media always goes for. People correctly like to see their politicians humbled.

Didja know that practically nobody was interested in either candidate last time? That must be why Obama won reelection, 19 votes to 16.

Well, considering that this was an announcement 20 years in the making, almost a half-dozen Iowans seems underwhelming.

On the same day, the Socialist nutcase who doesn't have a chance in hell was packin' 'em in:

Oooh, do I detect something of a change in attitude in the aftermath of your trip under the bus?
