Some say Obama is jumping the gun but you have to prepare for these things in advance. We only have two weeks. But the location was selected because the park can hold hundreds of thousands of people. Provided that Obama wins the election, we could see Obama's biggest crowd yet. Could we see a crowd ranging between half a million to a million people? Alot of people would want to be there for that historical event. It would be the second most historic event after the inargaration ceromony.

Im sure McCain is setting up for his potential victory speech as well so no body is jumping the gun.

It's going to be historic. I plan on being there. Illinois is on a roll. We'll have President Obama. Then we'll have the Olympics (hopefully) in 2016 as President Obama ends his second term. Awesome.

Candidates always plan for big speeches/parties on election night regardless if they win or lose.

Well, almost all of them. But apparentely not McCain.

McCain might skip his own election-night party

2 million dollars, and yet people get on Palin for 100,000 of clothes. Talk about a bunch of hypocrites.

The city will probably end up making money from the election party.

He is keeping the wealth for his victory speech or earmark!!!!

Hypocrite, he should say that in the economy we are in (according to Obama him self) he isn't going to waste anymore money but spent it on wise things and give it to the people who need it so hard....just Obama 's own words, but it is hard to give money to others than his own racist church!!!

Now Obama can give a speech to the Chicagoans as to his plans for funneling the money from the rich into his city.
