Election night party planner
October 29, 2008 at 2:28 pm by Scott Henry in NewsYou could go to your local bar to watch the Election Night returns, you could fight the crowds at Manuel’s or you could party down with the parties – that is, the official political parties and their major candidates.
The Georgia Democratic Party and the Obama campaign will be cutting a rug at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Atlanta, beginning at 7 p.m. RSVP required.
Democratic Senate hopeful Jim Martin will be partying separately, in the Park Tavern’s event facility overlooking Piedmont Park.
Republicans, on the other hand, prefer to cluster together for warmth. Most GOP bashes will be consolidated in the Intercontinental Hotel in Buckhead.
We also have a home-grown presidential candidate, former Cobb County Congressman Bob Barr. The Libertarians will be holding their Election Night gala at the Mansour Center in Marietta. No, I’ve never heard of it, either, and I used to work up there.
The shindig begins around 7:30 p.m. and Barr is expected to address the crowd at 9:30 p.m. As the party’s own less-than-optimistic website notes, “If you don’t hear any noise, look for suite 100.”
Are there any other Election Night wing-dings we should know about?

Does anyone know of a Democrat Victory Party in (please don’t laugh) Gwinnett County? It gets pretty lonely out here and I need to be around other Dems.

Interestingly, the Mansour Center is the home of the Center for Family Resources, the social services not-for-profit run by Jeri Barr, Bob’s wife.
