On Wednesday, the location was confirmed.

It will be a repeat of the party that was aborted when the Olympics didn’t go to Chicago.

Is that McCormick, as in McCormick-Deering/International Harvester/Farmall? As a Farmall tractor guy, I’m offended.

I can’t believe the place would want the liability risk.

I predict it will be further downsized and help at a private “bathhouse”.

I can’t believe the place would want the liability risk. What do you want to bet that ID is required at the door?!? I'm sure they'll keep the common peasants and thugs away - It will be filled with invited Dem operatives and mob union leaders. They are all for the 47% until they have to spend time surrounded by them.

The phone booth on the corner of State & Madison would be a more appropriately sized venue.

No, it's McCormick as in
Colonel Robert R. McCormick, who would be spinning in his grave at the mere mention of 0bama.
They are related though, as is - curiously enough - former Secretary of State Madeline Albright.
