He was there to encourage the crowd to participate in early voting. ABC 7 reporter Charles Thomas stated the Jones Convocation Center, was not filled. Thomas did his best to paint the president’s visit as a success, “When it comes to Chicago, especially on the South Side, Obama has not lost his political magic. Sunday night at the Jones Convocation Center, it was filled to near-capacity.” Thomas reported 6,000 attendees at the rally to re-elect Quinn, but the capacity at the center is 7000. This comes on the heels of a crowd at a Maryland rally walking out during another speech by the president. 4 Responses cliff October 28, 2014 very incouraging Reply Jerry October 28, 2014 The African-American communities around the US should listen to these men.
