Politico reports that, at his St. Louis rally today, Obama drew 100,000.
St. Louis has a population of about 350,000. Suellen and I used to live in Southern Illinois, and St. Louis was our nearest big city. And let me tell you, that place is closer to Mississippi than it is to Chicago -- geographically, culturally, and politically. This is an amazing thing to me.
A post script: See that courthouse in the background? That's where Dred Scott sued for his freedom. Think about that.
Update: And when the St. Louis rally was over, Obama flew over to Kansas City, where the crowd numbered "only" 75,000.
