No, Ed Gillespie, That’s NOT a Huge (Let Alone Diverse) St. Patrick’s Day Crowd. Gerry Connolly’s Will Be Both.

I’m definitely saving this photo, tweeted by VA GOP gubernatorial frontrunner Ed Gillespie, to compare with the crowd at Rep. Gerry Connolly’s St. Patrick’s Day party this coming Friday. My guess is that Connolly’s event will be several times bigger than the crowd at Pat Herrity’s party today (no Ed Gillespie, that doesn’t look “huge” at all) and also far more diverse (e.g., it will look a LOT more like Virginia) than this, uh, not-very-diverse Republican crowd earlier today…
