The mood at Kenny Hulshof’s election night party continues to be somber. The gathering is still extremely small, with the press actually outnumbering the guests at the moment. As of 8:30 p.m., there is still no official word on when or if Hulshof will concede the race to Jay Nixon. The talk around the room is that Hulshof is likely to wait until the last minute, after all the votes have been counted, to concede the race. Some of Hulshof’s family members are actually at the party, discussing the presidential race, not the governor’s race.
