Was there and economic benefit to hosting the DNC? Some businesses have reported being slower than usual and the minimal crowds mean that it would be a great time to come visit downtown. Also, how has the city and CPD handled the protesters? What about the speeches? Who were the Rascals impressed with? Who was the biggest disappointment? And what about the city of Chicago in general? How has the city handled the huge event? Will this DNC be considered a success come Friday morning? And finally, will the DNC move the political needle to the left?
