minor puzzle: Obama predicts a million plus at his "celebation" tonight but there are a lot of empty hotel rooms
Unless the vaunted Chicago political machine is expected to turn out a million local residents, the couple hotel people that I have talked to here Tell me that business is no different than normal.
UPDATE: Well, it turns out that the crowd was a little short of one million people. Some estimates in the press put it at 150,000, but my own belief is that was probably high from what I was able to see.

Probably more manufactured hype about a manufactured candidate.....
I hope he is planning to celebrate his loss or maybe Mac's win.
John, you seem to be getting slower by the post.
Look at Obama's numbers in Illinois. He has a lot of supporters.
People that live within a few hours of Chicago -- and that's A LOT of people -- won't any hotel rooms.
The total includes all the post-mortem voters. :)
I guess they are staying at Obama's house.
the right guy - And McCain's supporters are all staying at his 7 houses. Or is it 13? Or 11?
Ah, who cares. I mean, who can really keep track of how many houses they own these days...
Sounds like the "Million Mom March".
