100,000 Strong at Missouri Obama Rally
Not a bad crowd for a swing state that is traditionally a Red state.
When McCain is lying about his rally attendance numbers of 16,000 and Obama's pulling 100,000 that should tell you something about the campaigns.

The reports are that 75,000 was at the Kansas City rally also.
Anybody know the size of McCain's rallies this weekend?
I didn't think so.

Oh Black Jesus.
As Palin would say, these people are anti-American, unlike Palin and her husband Todd.

100,000 people got fooled into thinking they were going to get to see Jesus.

Pffftt, that's nothing, the University of TN draws 110,000 people every Saturday during football season... and I won't even mention how many drones converge on weekly NASCAR events.

Hey, someone is being racist! Does that mean I get to start slinging the "N" word, just for the hell of it?

McCain will be here tomorrow. How many people do you think he'll get at his rally?

For a political rally, it's a very big deal.
And let's not overstate things. TN absolutely does not draw 110,000 fans for football games at least in the stadium. Neyland averages about 105,000 fans a game and has *never* broken though to 110,00 fans. I'm guessing they sure could given another serious stadium expansion, but all the money now is in adding luxury boxes and club seats and whatnot.

Question, when was the last time people were this excited about an election?

Did I say "stadium"? If you count the people on Cumberland, and the stadium, it's easily 110,000. I know, I'm there almost every home game (which has been rather painful of late).
And no, it's not a big deal. Obama is the new thing, he's a "rockstar". It will wear off quickly, and when he can't deliver on his promises it'll get ugly.

Reagan would beat Obama, but that's the only Republican I can think of (in the last 50 years).

People are excited about the election? You mean other than the political partisans who are always excited? Wow...that's news to me. Most of the Democrats and Republicans I've talked to seem to be bored and disappointed.

Right.
(Your offense is anemic these days. Gotta put points on the board. But your defense really isn't bad at all.)

If he gets elected, we'll see if he draws similarly large crowds in '11.

I was at the Obama rally. It was every bit as large (100,000) a crowd as has been reported. A very diverse crowd attended that crossed age, color, and gender lines. The McCain rally that followed attracted about 3000 people. President Clinton was in STL today campaigning for Obama at a local high school. Not sure what the turnout was but the line easily surpassed the 3000 that were at the McCain rally. They may not have all been able to get in because of space limitations, but the turnout was definitely huge.

Just checked an article at www.stltoday.com. Preliminary estimates say "thousands packed in the gym with several more thousand in an overflow area."
Looks like a surrogate campaigner for Obama managed to attract a far larger crowd than McCain. Quite interesting indeed.

Dick Cheney was here today as well. I have no idea why, but he was.
EDIT: Nevermind

It must have been a closed door event. Still caused a big stink where I work. Closed down a bunch of roads in the middle of a busy business area.
I hadn't even heard about Clinton. Kirkwood High School was my High Schools big rival school.
