They won't won't reveal any info until the day of or possibly the night before. I do know they are considering having it in the evening.

He's already been crowned KIng, and all his loyal subjects are bowing down. Me, I'm just bending over...

If I go, it'll only be to explain to people the things that Obama is really up to that because just aren't getting. I honestly would rather not see this country head to being a communist country where those who have worked hard in life to work there way up are then pushed back down by having more of their income taken away. Am I rich? No. I make 7.50 an hr, yet with learning to manage my money, I can pay for my own health insurance, rent, utility bills and food. Sure, there are months I struggle but I do not wish it on anyone to have to pay tax dollars just so I can live in comfort.
For many years when I was younger, my parents with their 5 kids, hardly had any money. We went several weeks where all we had was a gallon of milk to get us through to the next pay check. But they did not depend on the government for help. They continued going from job to job and eventually left CA to move out here to MO, just to get a job to keep us on our feet. They still don't make much, but still consider themselves blessed.
There are so many things that Obama supports and things he's said that are just down right wrong and not what this country stands for. I do not wish to get into all of it right now but perhaps I will at a later time.

erdnuss, while i support neither mccain nor obama... please dont speak the republican line. it has been spoonfed a dozen times to us by mccain. he intends no such thing to tax the lower people. the top 1% pay less in taxes due to loopholes in the tax laws than the bottom 90%. the rich are getting richer with fat salaries, fat pensions, and do nothing while the normal joe (aka you and me) pay taxes, take care of family's, and pay bills with way way less money. profits have increased 400% for fat cats while th worker makes a marginal 35% more in the past 40 years.

again i say stop the madness. privatize profits, socialize debt? you cant have it both ways in my honest opinion. and thats why i will vote for neither evils this year. they both can speak what the want. the rhetoric stopped a long time ago for me.

DOWN WITH THE 2 PARTY SYSTEM!!!!!

Isn't Chicago expecting over a million people coming out for an Obama parade? Guess not everyone in Illinois feels like you do. God Bless America.


Chicago braces for huge Obama election party

Buzz up! Chicago -- Chicago authorities are bracing for as many as a million people in downtown Grant Park Tuesday night to cheer on Barack Obama as election returns come in, a potential celebration and security headache.

Chicago does not represent all of Illinois. The only reason Barack Obama won is because the Republican was involved in a sex scandal. He and Dick Durbin were the first Dems to hold those Senate seats in quite a long time.
