Million Chicagoan March

It's a big day and whichever way it goes, this election will go down in history as being one of the most pivotal of our generation.

Here in Chicago, the festivities are already underway (what is that saying about counting your chickens before they hatch?) Grant Park has been transformed into a maze of tents and peddlers are selling trinkets by the fistful. Apparently people have driven from all parts of the country to celebrate Obama's potential achievement en masse. Could you imagine driving thousands of miles (or even a couple) to congregate with 1 million of your closest friends?

As I rhetorically asked Denver last night- when was the last time you had a great time with 1 million people? He suggested the Simon & Garfunkel concert in Central Park. Then I reminded him that it was a rhetorical question but if there were an answer it would be never. Getting together with that many people stinks- literally, figuratively, you name it. I ask anyone who is attempting to go to that rally tonight to take caution and screw their head on a little tighter.

To the locals I say run: get on the train or the bus and get out of the city now! Settle in for a long night of watching the "media elite" run their mouths about how they looked into their crystal ball months ago and could've told us then that tonight is playing out exactly as they had suspected. Either that OR they will be completely flabbergasted by a McCain victory. Paramedics will need to be on guard, in either case.
