Every political candidate puts on a big production during an election night, and the most recent round of Rhode Island primaries is no exception. So how exactly did certain particpants celebrate their wins/aleviate their losses - we're thinking copious amounts of booze - and what does their choice of venue say about them?
THE WINNERS...
GENERAL TREASURER (DEM) Seth Magaziner - Aurora Providence
Ah, the flyest new downtown dance spot. Makes sense for a young political freshman endorsed by the (arguably) "coolest" former POTUS. We only wish Bill Clinton had been there... twerking up a saxophone-infused celebratory storm.
AND THE LOSERS...
RI GOV (GOP) Ken Block - Finn's Harborside
The Barrington businessman and software engineer chose to have an electoral party at a seafood restaurant. How very Rhode Island. Unfortunatly, not Rhode Island enough to garner more votes.
RI GOV (DEM) Clay Pell - The Biltmore
How very... WASP-ish. And hey, rumor has it The Biltmore has a few ghosts roaming around. Maybe they possesed the electorate to NOT vote for Pell? Yup, that has to be the reason he lost.
PVD MAYOR (DEM) Michael Solomon - The Colosseum
Seriously? Holding your election party at a night club in Providence with an "interesting" reputation is perhaps not the smartest way to go. Too bad Solomon didn't have his soiree at the Foxy Lady, it might have given him a boost in ratings... among other things.
AND THEN THERE'S BUDDY...
Vincent Cianci - G Pub at the Providence G
Even though Buddy is running as an Independent, thus he had nothing to win or lose in the primaries, he still had a party. Just because. He's BUDDY, after all. But instead of choosing to celebrate on the Providence G Rooftop (which is full of fresh air and light), he favored the G Pub, albeit a fun bar, but a bar located in an industrial-style basement space. Could this be a metaphor indicative of his politics? Hmm.
