OBAMA PLANS TO CELEBRATE 2ND TERM IN CHICAGO CONVENTION CENTRE
U.S. President Barack Obama plans to usher in what he hopes will be a second four-year term in the White House at an election-night rally at a huge convention center near downtown Chicago.
The event will likely draw thousands of supporters to the McCormick Place convention center in Chicago, Obama's hometown and the site of his re-election campaign headquarters.
Supporters are expected to watch the voting results come in and then hear a speech by the incumbent Democrat who faces Republican Mitt Romney, a former Massachusetts governor and private equity executive, in the Nov. 6 general election.
More than 200,000 revelers flooded Chicago's Grant Park after Obama beat John McCain in 2008 to become the first black U.S. president.
McCormick Place attracts close to 3 million visitors each year and has assembly seating for 18,000 people, according to its website.
