    Cheer-o-Meter

    I like how people stop applauding the second CNN’s John King enters. They start again when they realize it sounds rude.

    Applause is high when Hillary enters. They reach another decibel when Obama comes into view. The two candidates stand around for a few minutes taking photos with “local officials.” Couldn’t they have done this before the clock started ticking?
