Members catphish Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 So...they don't even know how many people will swarm down to the City to either take part in the historic event of Obama being elected as our first black president or......? Daley said he want's a million people. The park holds 70,000. It's going to be a zoo to begin with. Now, in a city that riots when a basketball team WINS a championship, how will that play out if Obama losses? If Obama clinches will they cut off liquor sales after a certain percentage of votes are in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Emprov Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 Slightly off topic but I'm wondering what the commentaries will look like tomorrow if the World Series game doesn't end in time for ObamaTV. If he kicks it off the air during a late inning rally....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hi.flyer Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hey, it's all good. If the election is stolen from Obama, we'll just secede and declare him Pharaoh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chunky-b Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 Man, I hope it isn't even close. If it's close, well.......you know. I bet the city (Chi-town) will be packed and it will be so close and so many controversies that it may be a week before we find a true winner... So all of these Obama supporters will be packed in the park and won't know for sure if they won or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chugheshc2 Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 I hope it's not close either. I thought about going down there (here) but I don't think it may be a good idea, heck people here riot when sports team wins, I hate to think about what could potentially happen if Obama loses the election. Not that he will. Or could.too cocky?C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JeffBass Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 I'm scared to death about what will happen if Obama loses. Riots? Fires? I worry about the "celebration" too because people seem to get shot just attending the Taste of Chicago. Honestly I can't understand how anybody from Chicago could want a machine politician to be president. It O'Boggles the mind. As far as McCain "stealing" the election, I just tried to vote early but had to leave because the line was too long for my lunch hour. All the early voting locations close at 5:00pm each day making it difficult for working people to vote early. I'm sure Mickey Mouse, Jimmy Johns and all the other ACORN registerees won't have the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were my neighbor and a registered voter, we could carpool. Actually we could walk to the polling place in the basement of a church about 5 minutes from my house. You might have to wait 1 or 2 minutes, then you'd be greeted warmly. You'd be given a pink slip with all of your favorite Republican candidates on it so that you'd know exactly who to vote for and you wouldn't accidently vote for the "wrong" candidate. The nice lady would take your driver's license, check it, then double check it to confirm that you are you. Then, off to the computerized voting booths where you'd fill in your choices. You won't get a receipt for your ballot though. Trust us, your vote counted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WillPlay4food Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 There was a good commentary on Fox News . com on the idea of riots if Obama wins or loses. Here's the link. So last night, we talked about how police in urban centers of the country are bracing for violent unrest, just in case a) Obama loses and riots break out in cities like Detroit and Oakland, or b) Obama wins and riots break out in cities like Detroit and Oakland.So let me get this straight: No matter what happens, we should expect blacks to riot. If this isn't racist, then call me David Duke in a sundress.Think about it: We freely assume that no matter what happens with the election, whites, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans and our outspoken friends from Trinidad and Tobago will go about their business.But African-Americans? Expectations are so low that we're placing rush orders on riot helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JeffBass Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 Saturday is also available for early voting - btw.C. At very few locations and I'm sure those will be PACKED on Saturday. It's Cook County man and Democrats run the show, meaning working taxpayers should bend over and take it as usual. After all Cook County has the highest taxes in the nation and the reason for that is the DEMOCRATIC PARTY, thank you. :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RSBro Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 Who do you mean, "they"? A lot of the black community in my town. They rioted and burned down the publicly-funded apartment and housing communities they were living in. Free, of course. Then they had no place to go. It was funny, in a sad way.

Members chugheshc2 Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 I'm certain that hijinks are taking place on both sides. I'm sure there are enough desperate people around to make sure that nothing is wholly above board. It's a sad point of view, but realistic I am afraid. --------- Early voting has been open for a month prior to the polls - there has been plenty of time to get it done, if it needed doing in advance. I'll probably be voting on election day, early in the morning, if for no other reason than to say thanks to my neighbors are working the polls. C.
