So a few results are in and Sho’s at 34 percent and Sam Adams is at 52 percent. Palpable excitement at the mention of 34 percent, and then mothereffin’ hissing at Adams’ results. A hush has fallen over the banner-streamed Los Baez. Murmuring has taken a lower tone. Sho is standing by himself at this point by the buffet line and he’s been called out to do an interview by Channel 2. My crippled boy is on the blood trail.

His supporters are cheering and waving now. Screaming of “Sho,” who’s smiling in his stark-white tennis shoes. Speeches are yet to happen.
