OBAMA PLANS GIANT ELECTION NIGHT PARTY
CHICAGO (CBS) ― It’s not a done deal yet, but all indications are that campaign officials are leaning toward Hutchinson Field on the south end of Grant Park as the site of their election night party.
The field is home to softball diamonds, the popular summer Lollapalooza music festival and was the site of the mass pope John Paul held in Chicago nearly 30 years ago.
If Grant Park is chosen as the venue, it would not be the first big outdoor event for Obama. He announced his presidential run outside the old state capitol in Springfield on a very cold day last February and gave his nomination acceptance speech at Denver’s Mile High Stadium.
CBS 2 first reported last month that Grant Park was on Obama campaign officials’ shortlist. They tentatively decided on it late last week. The negotiations with the city and park district have begun. Security arrangements are reportedly starting to take shape, and Mayor Richard M. Daley reportedly said it was a great idea.

My feelings are this. McCain fought for my country. He gave a major sacrifice in doing so. That proves to me he respects and loves this land and all its people. He would do only what he feels in his heart is right for this country. I have only the utmost respect for each and every person, past and present, in the military and their families. As for Sarah Palin, she strikes me as blunt and honest… what you see is what you get. People try to insinuate that she isn’t capable to be a “heart beat away” from the presidency. Who truely is? The President doesn’t act alone, nor would a vice presedent. However, Plains straight talk, effective communications, are essential. Has anyone noticed that Sarah has been speeking to us all, just like we all do, making a miss statement or two… so what? Have you also noticed Joe Biden has been so silent. That’s because every lawyer knows that you don’t have to explain, what you don’t say. Common people, like Sarah speak their minds withount reservation. I can relate to that, I’m comfortable with that.
Man… I’ll bet they’re gonna be tokin’ the good schit all night long… hot damn!
I can’t wait to see their doped eyes widen in the morning when they see President-elect McCain & Veep-elect Palin being interviewed by the bitter press.
They’ll be livid…facing 16 years of “Bush”. Buuaah-ha-ha! There is no Allah… but there is indeed a God!
