A few thousand supporters are expected to pack McCormick Place's lakeside center.

This morning, the president made an unannounced stop at a campaign office in Hyde Park.

The president thanked campaign workers and congratulated GOP challenger, Mitt Romney, on a "spirited" campaign.

Mr. Obama also made calls to supporters in the batleground state of Wisconsin and urged them to get out and vote.
