Germany? Germany was a great, come-hither look
from across a crowded planet.
Denver? Denver was lovely. Denver was...
And St. Louis? St. Louis was roooooolling on the condom.

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 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 host open-air concerts, sporting events and the Taste of Chicago.
The Obama aide said logistical details such as whether attendees will need to register online or obtain a ticket in advance are still being worked out and will be announced in the coming days.
The Obama event is expected to take place on the south end of the park in an area known as Hutchison Field.

Come what may, baby, in the same place thug-cops used nightsticks to play "Wipe Out" on the skulls of the original dirty fucking hippies 40 years ago, two weeks from now Chicago is gonna be the political equivalent of some #$$@% ankles-in-the-air *!!@# with !!!%$$ and plum sauce lovin'.
And, on a personal note, I must say that arranging to drop the center of the political universe a mere few miles from the castle is just first-rate constituent service, Senator.

And then the next year will be the political equivalent of a horde of unwanted babies and a battery of venereal diseases.
Reality just SUCKS that way... ;)
@Monster of ID... like that hasn't happened already under the Bush Administration's policy of "abstinence only" sex education. How many more Bristol Palins must we endure before we recognize the ignorance and divisiveness inherent in your comment.
@drifty... I've been to Grant Park once this summer where a screening of the movie Grease was held (in honor of it's 30th anniversary). It was a wonderful sight to behold.
I'm pretty sure that's where I saw the Muddy Waters Tribute concert back in teh day.
Aaaand down goes the little rubber mallet, and up goes the knee...
I was following Driftglass's metaphor. I am surprised Spartacus, as one of the illuminati of Whole Foods Nation, missed such a basic literary concept as "metaphor".
We will be there..and as you say, just a few miles from the castle too..
reserving two seats on the Red Line as I type.
I am so THERE. WOO!
Maybe you can talk Mr O into restarting ChicagoFest.
If Obama does get elected, it will be nice to have a President and Party in control of the government who are not totally completely batshit deranged. But let's not delude ourselves into thinking that Obama is going to govern as a true liberal.
