This week's cover story | Election 2012

Here's a sneak peek at what's coming up in Time Out Chicago, on newsstands tomorrow:

• Chicago was on a euphoric high the night of Nov 4, 2008. And now? People who attended the Grant Park rally describe the scene, and talk about their feelings about Obama four years later.
• Little-known fact: Mitt Romney's ancestors once lived in the Mormon wonderland of Nauvoo, Illinois. Jake Malooley travels there to try to better understand the GOP nominee.
• We could all use a little levity in the run-up to next week's election, right? Local comics deliver with jokes about both parties.
• Mike Daisey is back with a new monologue about American utopias (Disney World, Burning Man, etc.), premiering at the MCA. Has he learned anything from the This American Life fallout? Signs point to yes. And no.
