City Vows To Bill Obama Campaign For All Costs Associated With Massive Outdoor Bash
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Election Day is less than two weeks away, and Chicago could be home to the biggest political party in the country. Construction is underway for a massive stage in Grant Park where Barack Obama could declare victory on election night.
As CBS 2's Joanie Lum and Political Editor Mike Flannery report, tens of thousands are expected to gather before the stage on election night. One way or another, that huge crowd will witness history.
The event would require massive security, but the Obama campaign promises that Chicago taxpayers will not have to foot the bill for police, fire and medical services that would be required for election night.

I would not want to be in Chicago on election night because there could be riots if he wins and burn baby burn if he loses. The heathens were out in force after the Bulls won a championship.

I remember and people were just excited. I was at Game 2 of the ALCS in '05, and out on the town the night we won the WS and it was fine... lotta drunks but nobody destroyed anything. Same thing happened when I went the NFC Championship game a couple years ago, people were excited by not violent.
