| Description | "By nine o’clock on election night, everyone gathered in the ballroom of the Sheraton Boston knew the battle had been lost. Shannon O’Brien (LAW ’85) would not be the next governor of Massachusetts. The early returns were devastating.

Two banks of spotlights sharply illuminated the forty-foot-long stage, empty except for a podium. Fifty feet across the ballroom, eight television cameras were trained on the area. Hundreds of O’Brien supporters, purple and yellow “O’Brien for Governor” stickers on their shirts, milled quietly, watching the election returns on soundless television sets."
