Press pays pretty penny to attend Election Day parties
Obama, McCain coverage could cost upward of $1,815
By Ashley Niedringhaus
Obama is charging members of the media up to $1,815 to come to his Nov. 4 rally in Grant Park.
McCain is charging members of the media $695 for access to his event in Arizona.
Free, but limited, access is available for Obama's rally but no free access is available for McCain's."
(snip)
Last week, Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley announced plans to charge presidential hopeful and Illinois senator, Barack Obama, $2 million to host his election night extravaganza in Grant Park.
Crain's Chicago Business reported the $2 million-dollar price tag is budgeted to cover additional park maintenance, sanitation needs and extra security for the anticipated large crowd.

Quote
"There is no incentive to limiting access anymore," Young said. "Once the votes have been cast the media role changes from an ally to just another institution."

Crews Will Have Equipment Ready for Rally
City firefighters and paramedics have been asked to take home their gear so they can speed deployment during any emergency that might occur during the election night Obama rally in Grant Park. The order begins next Wednesday, and continues through until two days after the election.
The plan is the same that was in place in case the Cubs or the White Sox made it to the World Series and would either win or lose.
With Obama being the first major party presidential candidate from Chicago, it required the department to plan for the potential of celebratory crowds if he wins or rioting if he loses, police said.
The price tag for the rally will come to $2 million, which the campaign has agreed to fund. [S-T]

Lynn Sweet, Washington bureau chief for the Chicago Sun-Times, called the price list "an outrageous pay-to-play plan that caters to national elite [media] outlets." She noted that many reporters don't have extensive phone and electrical needs and yet will be priced out of covering Mr. Obama on Election Night.
Mr. Obama will certainly be getting the lion's share of votes from reporters who cover his campaign, but that doesn't make his media operation popular. "There is an arrogance there that I hope doesn't carry forward to any Obama White House," one reporter who travels frequently with the candidate told me. "But all the signs of trouble are already there."

A new way to limit free speech? Charge the press admission? Limit access to those that can afford to pay?
