Obama Victory Bash for Election Underway


Confident Obama campaign splurges $2M to prep Chicago's lakefront Grant Park to host hundreds of thousands attending victory bash — but what if he loses?
Barack Obama has reserved part of Chicago’s Grant Park for Election Night festivities on November 4. According to the Chicago Tribune: “The large public space between the Loop and lakeshore also hosted a papal visit in 1979 and a Chicago Bulls NBA championship celebration in 1991. It more routinely hosts open-air concerts, sporting events and the Taste of Chicago.”
Is Obama jumping the gun by reserving the large public space on Election Night? Does it look like the Democratic presidential candidate is planning a victory party? Or does the campaign simply need to focus on logistical arrangements this week? Share your thoughts. Click on “Leave a Comment” below.
