Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign plans to temporarily take over one of the city's most prominent
retail spaces. The campaign has reached a deal to open an office in Flagstar Bank's former space in Two North Meridian, at
the northwest corner of Washington and Meridian streets. Obama for America will use the space through the May primary. The
building owner still is looking for a permanent tenant and has been negotiating with New York-based Foot Locker. Hillary Clinton,
meanwhile, plans to open several Indiana offices today, including one downtown at 445 North Pennsylvania St., at the southeast
corner of Michigan and Pennsylvania streets.

As for future permanent tenants: probably a bank. I know, we all want an Apple store, but its not happening.
How do you know?
In other words, the headline up there should read Obama, Clinton both taking downtown space.
I'm voting for Obama, but the headline seems a bit unfair.
And while we're on this subject..... will people stop saying Hillary should drop put??? So, she can't mathematically win the delegates needed to secure the nomination...... NEITHER can Obama! Hillary CAN, in fact, still win the popular vote. AND, if she wins the popular vote, i think it is ABSOLUTELY necessary for the the SUPERdelegates to cast their votes and affirm THAT result. This delegate thing is CRAZY and confusing......... How can Hillary win the popular vote in Texas by more than 100,000 votes and STILL come up short to Obama in terms of pledged delegates there???? Nonsense!
Yippiekayay
Remember 2000's election? It doesn't matter what the popular vote says. As long as the person gets enough Delegates or Electoral Votes, the popular vote is crap.
Also don't forget the past 7-8 years... Popularity does not matter in politics any more. What matters is what the select few say. Granted, Hillary should not quit till all votes are counted (granted that she sees it through). Even though I am not a Hillary supporter, I still feel that she should at least run until the end when someone actually is nominated.
If Hillary, Obama, or any other candidate that is or has ever been running a race this closely and drops out would be like a the Colts going to the Super Bowl and having a close game through the 3rd or most of the 4th quarter and quitting before the final score. So, Like I have said, Even though I am not a Hillary supporter, I say... Let the games continue until a winner is announced by Delegates.
