May there be a storm of unparalleled proportion on that day. Or at least a miserable cold wet day.

“May there be a storm of unparalleled proportion on that day.”

And on top of that, massive disappointment for the Obama camp, as McCain & Palin win the election!

And if The Messiah loses, he has a ready-made riot to unleash. The after party teardown wouldn't take long...phony Greek columns and all!

How much will Chicago get in the way of fees/permits for this place to concede?

I'll settle for a McCain win and a surly, defeated crowd.

"Chicago Bulls NBA championship celebration in 1991"

Is that when the riots were? Or was that in '92??

I thought they might do something symbolic, for the POOR. Booker T. Washington complained that FREE MEN, in 1862 from the plantations used to spend their last dollar on a cigar, buy a Lincoln Hat, and pay the carriage driver to go past 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. As they passed by they would greet Mr. President Lincoln as they drew smoke from the cigar, tipped their hat, and go home to a leaky roof and an empty pantry.

Americans don't like an arrogant SOB presuming victory.
This can\will sway some fence-sitters ( don't know how there could be fence-sitters at this late stage).
I'm thinking some who had no intention of voting will now get out and vote against OB

ANother translation:

Election Night festivities>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Election Night Kenya Style Alinski Riots

"They CHEATED......MAN THE BARRACKADES...........ATTACK THE IMPERIALIST DOGS!!!"

I hope the Illinois NG has some dedicated shooters.

If CHicago had ANTY smarts, no permit would be issued for this " Loser event."

His oudoor stage in Denver cost $5million.

How much is this costing?

Is it more than Sarah Palin’s “prime time” wardrobe?

I heard he was reimbursing the city $2 million for the party. That’s nice but are you going to reimburse the families of the police officers if they’re hurt/killed by friendly or unfriendly riots? Are you going to reimburse the business people who can’t get home to their families because of the traffic mess your little party will cause? What about all the litter that liberals are supposed to be so concerned about? And how much energy is this wasting? How many extra millions is Obama spending on carbon credits? Is he offering free food for the homeless?
