Election 2012: Crickets at Romney HQ

NBC News' Chris Jansing doing a standup at Romney headquarters in Boston. Somehow, what she says isn't as important as the sound in the room. Or the absence of it. Crickets pervade in the room.

People standing in relative silence. Looks like an insurance seminar meet-and-greet. The music kicks in but the hall still looks asleep. Energy looks low, subdued. It's not so much a sense of celebration as soldiering on.
