TAMPA -- John F. Kerry's quest for the White House will probably end with an election-night event in Copley Square that could attract the huge crowds, security, and reporters reminiscent of the Democratic National Convention, while offering Bostonians a chance to witness history.
As many as 30,000 people are expected at the event Kerry hopes will be a victory party. He wants to stage the event outside the Boston Public Library on Copley Square, surrounded by the nearby Trinity Church and John Hancock Tower, aides said yesterday.
Seth Gitell, spokesman for Mayor Thomas M. Menino, confirmed that Kerry's campaign had contacted the mayor about using the library facilities on election night.
''The request is pending for a myriad of reasons, including security and traffic," Gitell said.

Yikes. I don't like the sounds of that. I don't imagine 300,000 people will up and go home when sKerry loses that night.
Better get the riot police ready.
Oh my gosh, it's a scandal!
</sarcasm>
Could be a cold hard rain falling in Boston November 2.
Should fit the mood nicely.
The scandal is that two Freepers mulitplied the number of participants by 10!
It will make good television.
3,000,000 people in Copley Square!!
Well, if the World Series is still going on they can always watch the Yankees!

Don’t worry, it’s just Boston.
Can't think of a better place to make a concession speech.
3000000000000 people will be at the Kerry rally to watch him vote. I am glad that President Bush will vote in Crawford and so will his lovely wife. They will be there with family and friends.
W.. we are having a VICTORY party here in LUBBOCK. President Bush you and your family are welcome here in West Texas anytime. We love ya W.
If they want a place for 30,000 Bostonians to watch a loser, why not Fenway Park?
Kerry's attempt at the Guinness record for mass disappointment.
After the Yankees clean the Sox Clox......GW will take out the other Northeast nemice from Boston......
I guess he wants a big crowd when he announces Phase II of the election - the lawyers and lawsuits.
I guess it will be fun watching all the long faces on election night in Kerry's camp!
Since Boston is totally populated and permeated with drunks I expect the chant to to be "Four More Beers......!"
It's pre-panned rioting to start the November 3 protesting already in place if Bush wins - regardless of margin, EV, etc. It's intimidation and thuggery.

I wonder if they will be having the WailingAndGnashingOfTeethWebCam up and running for this event?
Why risk the safety of the police?
Let 'em burn that liberal haven to the ground.
