100.000 people at Obama event in St. Louis, MO

[J. J.]

J. J.'s Third Rule of Elections:  Supposed indicators, crowd size, signs and bumper stickers, letters to the editor, are meaningless in terms of actual voter support, though might be an indicator of campaign organization.

I should also point out that Obama was speaking about a half mile from his home state.

So bitter some of you, its kinda sad and pathetic.


other than that, thats pretty awsome.

Of the 2,800,000 people that live in the Greater St. Louis area, about 688,000 live in IL, so that's where some of the support is coming from.
