How many people will show up Tuesday night? It’s the topic at the water cooler this week. The Mayor’s guess: one million. The Trib has a list of suggestions for the organizers to keep everything orderly. And yesterday, the Washington Post had a nice piece about how the Democratic Party hopes to return in celebration to Grant Park, the place where the party fell apart 40 years ago.
