An expanding Obama HQ in Chicago
Posted August 8, 2008 6:10 AM
The Swamp

by John McCormick

With the existing 33,000 square feet on the 11th floor of a Chicago office building starting to feel like a crowded sweatshop, the campaign headquarters for Sen. Barack Obama is expanding.

On Thursday, the Democratic presidential campaign started moving into an additional 12,000 square feet of space in the same building at 233 N. Michigan Ave., according to campaign spokeswoman Moira Mack. The new space will be used for various activities, including an expanded, seven-day-a-week call center for volunteers.

Mack would not say how many employees are now in Chicago, but a visit to the headquarters earlier this week showed hundreds of people crowded elbow-to-elbow at virtually every available spot of desk space.

1. "All these damn volunteers! They making our office too crowded!"
What an excellent problem to have.

I heard the McCain headquarters, a mall kiosk in Flagstaff, still has plenty of room.

2. Mall kiosk-LOL!
I know, it's a really rough problem to have, isn't it. They're ramping up for the final push.

3. gee....sweatshop? wonder if they used that image on purpose?
interesting choice of words, out of all the other ones in the English language they could have used, like

crowded

jampacked with enthusiastic VOLUNTEERS

amazing how the negative images are always inserted, like

Obama claimed today that McCain was lying when he said that Obama's entire energy policy consisted of inflating tires, instead of



Obama stated today that McCain was lying when he said that Obama's entire energy policy consisted of inflating tires

ever notice how often they pull that garbage?
