Elitist? Nooooo...
Pretty Penny
If you want to cover Barack Obama's election night rally in Chicago you are free to do so, but it will cost you.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports positions at the event could cost between $715 for radio correspondents to a whopping $1,870 for a riser position complete with long-distance phone lines and Internet. The cheapest place a reporter can stand on a riser with a view goes for $880.
Lynn Sweet at the Chicago Sun-Times writes, "This is an outrageous pay-to-play plan that caters to national elite outlets with deep pockets."
And while there will be a general media section that is free, Sweet calls it "unappealing" and "second class," adding it will be "outdoors, unassigned and may have obstructed views."

You know what will be the icing on the cake? If he loses and they shelled out all that money to see him concede (while everyone around them is rioting) :-) :lmao:
