I expected there to be a parade of warm-up acts before former President Bill Clinton spoke at Elon yesterday, and there were. The President of the College Democrats chapter spoke, Elon mayor Jerry Tolley spoke, and North Carolina field director Mike Trujillo spoke. I had my digital video camera with me, hoping to capture some memories of the day, especially since Gretchen and the kids came to yesterday’s event as well.

It was Trujillo who gave the soundbite of the day. He had randomly selected a few people from the audience who had texted him to come to the stage, and later to meet President Clinton. I’m not sure what brought it on (maybe he was trying to be funny?), but at one point during this process Trujillo said into the microphone, “That just means you’ve got a whole bunch of mama’s boys just like me wanting to get a mommy elected President.” The crowd stood in awkward silence for several seconds before Trujillo mercifully went about getting people onto the stage (”Mike, do you know the route to take?”).

Here’s the audio of it:
