 THE PARTY LINECampaign HQ Party at Landmark Grill
Free appetizers are one lure to this nonpartisan party, but the payoff is a raffle for a weekend junket to
DC, including a stay at the Sofitel and dinner. It's a trip for two, so bring your favorite political
consultant.
 THE ECONOMIC STIMULUSElection Night Fight at Sonotheque
The West Town lounge may not win your vote for the best political satire in a cocktail glass (serving
The Very, Very Old Fashioned and The Black Velvet), but we can't argue with the pandering:
Specialty cocktails are $5, and cover has been waived.
 THE MONEY MAKERThe Maverick Game at the Fifty/50
Bring in your voting sticker, get a beer. But wear your candidate's color (red or blue) and each time he
wins a state, you'll draw for a gift certificate with a dollar amount matching the state's electoral
votes. We knew that Electoral College would come in handy one day.
 THE LOBBYISTElection Night at the James Hotel Lobby
Did you know that John McCain loves shrimp cocktails and Barack Obama loves deep dish? Neither did we,
but since it's David Burke's Primehouse providing $7 appetizers starring the candidates' favorite food,
you'll finally find common ground with the other side.
 THE POLITICAL DIVIDEHighlights and Highballs at Sully's House
The Lincoln Park sports pub switches its fifteen screens from ESPN to CNN, CSPAN and SNL for tonight's
soiree. The cocktail menu keeps things gerrymandered nicely with a selection of red drinks (Campari sours
for McCain) and blue drinks (the Blue Hawaiian for Obama). You might have to pull a liquid
filibuster...
