8:07 p.m. — Screams, Chants At Gabbard HQ

By /
The first printout showing Tulsi Gabbard with a 49 percent to 38 percent lead over Mufi Hannemann was met with an eruption of screams here at Gabbard HQ.

They’re chanting “Tulsi! Tulsi!” and waiting for her to emerge. There’s genuine surprise and elation here.
