8:48 PM: Sedate crowd at Romney party
Several hundred Romney supporters are packed into a ballroom at the West Des Moines Sheraton. With a large flat panel screen showing Romney well behind, the crowd is far from festive.
Most are standing around chatting with each other, a few smiling and making jokes as they wait for Romney to arrive while recorded country and soft classic rock music fills the room.
