Chicago Hot BlogObama’s Grant Park Election Night Party
Barack Obama is expected to host his Election Night Party in Chicago’s Grant Park. The Election Night Party is expected to draw a massive crowd, citing that an Obama rally in St. Louis last week drew 100,000 people.
It has not yet been decided how registration will be setup for the event, but it is likely that the public will be able to register online. Attendees should expect long lines and extremely high security.
Obama’s Grant Park Election Night Party
Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign will hold what it hopes will be an Election Night celebration in Grant Park in Chicago, a campaign aide confirmed this morning.
The Obama event is expected to take place on the south end of the park in an area known as Hutchison Field.
It could also be cold on the night of Nov. 4. But it will almost certainly no colder than frigid February 2007 day when Obama announced his presidential bid at the Old State Capitol in Springfield.
The campaign aide declined to say how large a crowd is expected, or whether it would rival the size of the pope’s appearance or the Bull’s celebration.
I will be there as early as 9am to get in line. Preparing care packages now for the wait. I hope we’ll be allowed to queue that early.
