When faced with this line outside of the Brooklyn Marriott, I took it as a good sign. I expected to find myself at the back of a very crowded room of enthusiastic Obama supporters. The energy was good, people were patient, and Barack was coming to Brooklyn. What could go wrong?

Actually, everything could go wrong for my party of four. No admittance, and no good explanation. Coverage of the shut-out circulated earlier today.
