[jezebel]

largest US crowd. (per MSNBC)

[kansasblue]

1. wow!

FOX news seems to be stuck on the Palin rallies.

[ej510]

3. Yeah Palin is Obama.

:sarcasm: Puhleeze!

[elkston]

5. Yeah. I laughed at the lazy writers who claimed Palin drew "Obama-like" crowds n/t

[AwakeAtLast]

2. Whoa!

:wow:

[applexcore]

4. What about his 200,000 in Oregon?

Wasn't that one 200,000?

[FrenchieCat]

6. Naw, that was 75 thousand. Then there was 84 Thousand in Denver

for the convention!

[tokenlib]

7. Wasn't that 70-80,000 in Oregon--still impressive!!n/t

[Solomon]

9. No I think Oregon was about 80,000.

[applexcore]

12. Oh, ok. Must have got that number from Germany

Too much going on in this election.

[Arugula Latte]

13. Yep -- Germany was 200,000.

But this whole thing is just surreal. :wow:

[City Lights]

19. Those people were there to see a band, remember?

The Decemberists, IIRC.

That's what some people said anyway. ;-)

[babylonsister]

8. Unreal! Also just heard this on a radio station here that

airs Rush, Hannity, etc. :evilgrin:

[book_worm]

10. People stop looking at the polls. Something is happening in this country

Dem registration is way up and GOP reg is way down. McCain is not going to win.

[babylonsister]

17. Yep, everyone is anxious to actually see the next President of

these United States. Something about history being made, something to tell their kids...

[AndyTiedye]

20. We Know McAin't Can't Win, But It is Still Close Enough to STEAL

[tokenlib]

11. Gateway Arch is an awesome setting for this--wish the camera views were better

It would also be cool to be up in the arch right now...

[TuxedoKat]

14. When I heard he was speaking at the Arch today I knew there would

be a huge crowd as the grounds there are enormous. Wish I could be there! I love St. Louis, (former resident).

[No Passaran]

15. Politico says 100,000

[Neecy]

16. hey, St. Louis is cheating!

The area Obama will be at in Kansas City today only holds around 50k - so they'll beat us in turnout. Grrrrr......

On my way to see the next president!

[hootinholler]

23. Your sig pic is rather ironic in this thread

Quite the contrast.

:rofl:

-Hoot

[wildflower]

18. I love that "U.S. crowd" has to be distinguished

Because he gets such huge crowds wherever in the world he goes.

[dana_b]

21. well Missouri IS in play so that's great news!!

:woohoo:

[progressivebydesign]

22. Okay. that's more like it. the News said 10k!!! And I was like NO WAY!!!

OMG! You can tell by the pics its gotta be 100k. Holy Shit!
