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.
its good to know about it? where did you get that information?
