Chris Kissel is at the Westin at Sen. Patty Murray's party. He reports that there's about 100 people—mostly media people milling around, interviewing folks.

There's also some "tough union dudes in leather jackets" hanging around according to Kissel's tweets.

Kissel pigeonholed Sen. Murray's D.C. staffer Eli Zupnick who wouldn't go on record about anything and promised to get a proper campaign spokesperson for us.
