Construction starts on Obama’s ‘victory stage’

ELECTION Day is less than two weeks away, and Chicago could be home to the biggest political party in the country.

Construction is under way for a massive stage in Grant Park where Barack Obama could declare victory on election night.

Tens of thousands are expected to gather before the stage on election night and 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 will be required.
