CHICAGO (CBS) ― Oprah will be there, so will Mayor Richard M. Daley and movie star Samuel L. Jackson. Gov. Rod Blagojevich is also invited. They're a few of the VIPs who will be on hand to hear Barack Obama speak in Grant Park on election night.
CBS 2 Political Editor Mike Flannery reports next Tuesday's event will in some ways be similar, in other ways different, from many of the big rallies Obama held en route to winning the Democratic nomination.
For one thing, there are no live musical performances planned, at least so far.
The list of VIPs is lengthy and growing, including Playboy CEO Christie Hefner and husband Bill Marovitz, Democratic State Committeeman Emil Jones and wife Lorrie Jones, U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and wife 7th Ward Ald. Sandi Jackson, State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias, Cook County Board President Todd Stroger, State Comptroller Dan Hynes, and Attorney General Lisa Madigan. Republican State Sen. Kirk Dillard has been invited, but doesn't plan on attending.
Among those given speaking, expect to see Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin and Mayor Daley.
Among those not invited are Obama's former pastor the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and Illinois Republican House leader Tom Cross.
Most, if not all of the Democrats in the congressional delegation are expected to attend, not to mention reporters from all over the world.
Again, the Obama campaign says the tickets are gone for spots in Grant Park with a clear view of Sen. Obama speaking.
Two days after our report ran, Blagojevich's office told CBS 2 he is now invited.
His crown is being called the Redistributor Cap:
When Obama loses, He will not concede and will make a speech about “We will take back this country’. Riots will break out in at least 100 cities. After the dust settles he will deny inciting all the violence and blame the Republicans.
Can we get a list of the movie stars and other public celebs so we can boycott their movies and tv shows? Blast their advertisers like O’R did with French Fries?
Kind of wierd acting; but a great sound and they sound like they know music.
Chicago's lake front is not a pleasant place to be at night during this time of the year. Cold and damp, probably windy, only the hardy will be able to stand there for hours.
However, if Obommie Commie loses, I'm sure things will heat up pretty fast.
