We're in Moncton on the Harper campaign and former premier Bernard Lord just whipped up the crowd of about 450 here with a barnburner of a partisan speech concluding it as every introducer does, along the lines of, "please give a warm New Brunswick welcome to Stephen Harper!"
The crowd leapt up, clapping and cheering.
One problem: PM wasn't ready yet.
After a few minutes of sustained clapping and craned necks, Lord was finally able to apologize for jumping the gun.
We're still waiting ..
One of my Global Television colleagues cracked, "A case of premature adulation."
