Ive written before about the fact that Barack Obama was not planning another big Election Night victory party in Grant Park here in Chicago like the spectacle he put on in 2008, because no one I know in the Parks Department or in the event planning community had anything on their radar for Grant Park that night. Because of the permitting and union rules that plague any event in this City (which wouldnt be waived even for Obama, due to liability and insurance issues the City would face if anything went wrong and permitting was not followed to the T) we would have known a few weeks ago if Obama expected another win and was going to celebrate in Chicago again. That massive Grant Park victory rally took a while to plan and involved far too many vendors for anything similar to be replicated this year without people already knowing.
Ive suspected for some time that Obama was going to plan for a concession speech on November 6th, but last night final confirmation arrived in the form of leaked news that the Obama election night event is being staged in private McCormick Place, not a big public setting like Grant Park.

Thanks for the info.
They being his lackeys who failed him.
HE can escape.
He’ll leave a martyr and be a rock star all over the world! America will be considered too stupid to realize how far ahead of his time Obama was.
Or just a very defensible place. I think he expects to lose, his internal polls are telling him he will lose, and he knows there will be trouble in Chicago when that is made plain to the O-bots.
Take this with a huge grain of salt for 2 reasons. Kevin Dujan is the same guy who ran a story of Obama being gay. 2. I am from Chicago and I actually worked at McCormack Place. It is MASSIVE. Think indoor football stadium size. Plenty of room. Busing people from downtown or Grant Park would not be that big a deal for a city this organized. Just sayin..
PS Hope I’m wrong.
I stand corrected. I still think O will be the most insufferable ex-Prez ever, though. He'll make even Jimmy Carter look patriotic and well-tempered in his remarks. O and Mooch will NEVER shut up.
Let us hope that does not happen. Right now the economy is dead in the water. This month reminds me of Y2K and 911. Very little actual cash is flowing around. Basically due to the uncertainty of the election and of course all those dollars sent into every ones favorite political candidate. We need this election to be over and done with. And a clear winner to emerge with some type of mandate. An Obama comeback that just barely wins, wont get the economy roaring. Just get us back to June/July of 2012 with a boatload more of Marxist stupidity to come. A Romney win with a mandate would let loose the flow of investment and spending. Dragging the country through a month more of uncertainty after the election, could absolutely implode the economy.

The Metra (IC) has a stop for it. I know, because I took it to get from Hyde Park to the Consumer Electronics Show when I couldn’t steal a ride from the Hyde Park Hilton limo service.
Or that.
I don't think so. If he is roundly defeated, he will go out as the guy who lost the Progressive's hold on the US government.
Bill Clinton is a Democrat hero because he won elections, and beat the Republicans in the impeachment effort, at least from a PR perspective.
But if Obama loses, especially substantially, he will be a pariah and a loser. He'll be marked lousy. I don't see huge speech income in his future.
*sigh*
That's pretty much a given.
And he's a young guy with years and years and years and years and years ahead of him.
And we know that's not true...
and will hole up in the underground bunker for months..”
There was a whole lot of mysterious construction going on at the WH in the last couple of years. Would be interesting to find out what we paid for. I don’t suspect Michelle would take kindly to having to remain underground anywhere. When he loses I think she will be out of there. Will be interesting to see how quickly they move the girls though and whether or not they remain at their private school until the semester break.
But first, we must all double down to make sure that Romney wins.
Spot on!
Exactly. If retail sales are any measure, the entire economy is holding its collective breath, waiting for the morning of November 7th. There is nothing going on except at discount stores and Wal-Mart
Can you imagine the S$$t-fit the Secret Service would throw over a repetition of the last affair?
Putting him out like that is just dangerous.
I think he is going to lose, but I cannot see him doing that for a number of reasons—win or lose.
Since a foreign country will be counting our votes, maybe he's bunkering in for riots against those meanie Tea Party terrorists.
That’s why it would be so much fun to see a Romney mandate and a Republican Congress. Not from a political win perspective, but because I think the economy would absolutely explode with energy. For the last 12 to 18 months everybody has collectively drawn their resources closer and tighter to their vest in advance of the election. With an Obama win people/businesses will release only what they have to to keep moving. With a Romney win people/businesses will leap forward and the economy will spring back to life within the next 3 or 4 quarters.
