Bodies have begun to funnel and trickle in to the Robert Treat Hotel in Newark, where Phil Murphy, the Democratic front-runner for governor, plans to hold his victory party tonight.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was present early.

So was Assemblyman Benjie Wimberly (D-35).

So was Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg (D-37).

Also spied in the gathering crowd: former U.S. Senator Bob Torricelli.
