Another call-in report from the field:
"We were having trouble locating a gathering place for Romney supporters, until Tuesday morning, when we stumbled upon a woman standing outside Union Station, laden with Romney signs, posters, buttons and a hat. She was greeting people as they emerged from the station and encouraging them to vote for Romney. Perhaps not the wisest place to be securing votes, given that most people are arriving *from* their polling places, not on their way *to* them. But that's another issue. So we approached her and asked if she knew of a gathering place for Romney supporters. Most certainly! 950 W. Wrightwood, from 6 to 9. We blurted, 'Is it a bar?' thinking that these affairs are usually at hotels or union halls. Her pasted smile belied the drain of mirth from her tone. 'It's ... a ... dining establishment.' Longer pause, then: 'That serves liquor.' Party on, Mitt!"
A quick Google map check for that address brings us an answer. Who knew Romney's people were Grand Central types? A quick call over to the bar confirms that about 100-200 Romney supported will be gathering around 6 p.m. to watch the results roll in.
