I was there, what is funny is that some of the elevated pictures don't show the sheer size of the crowd because you have thousands of people hidden in the trees and out near the lake area milling around because there simply wasn't enough room to be in the visible area.
This was an amazing event and I feel very fortunate to have been able to be there to experience it.
I saw so much hope, happiness, togetherness with everyone. Pretty freakin sweet.

Oh, my wife and I are in the grove of trees on the upper right, that area was packed full of people and extended out a ways to the right by the lake/pond

Mizzou is a swing state, will be interesting to see how the final weeks play out. 100,000 is a lot of people for a small city.
Mizzo is normally solid red like Oklahoma.
I'm not sure why it would be in play this year except maybe St Louis is hurting.
I haven't been there all this year so maybe things went down fast.
Obama will not need North Carolina if he wins Missouri.
I wouldn't bother pointing out that distinction to Dave; after all, "the most (poorly) educated American on the internet" can't even spell Mizzou.Originally posted by: misle
Missouri is not a solid Red State. Missouri has voted for the winning presidential nominee every time, save once, in the last 100 years.Originally posted by: dmcowen674

A state that went to Clinton in '92 and '96 and went for Carter in '76 is not solidly Red.
All the rural areas are pretty solidly red, as with most rural areas, but we have Kansas City, St. Louis, and Columbia that lean Blue.
BTW, Mizzou refers to the University of Missouri, not the State of Missouri.

its really quite simple, not much to 'get'. Americans are excited about an intelligent and progressive future under Obama after dealing with a horrific eight years.
it is fear and hatred that blind most who 'don't get it'.

I'm sure it is comforting for you to dismiss my puzzlement as fear and hatred, however, the only feeling I have toward either candidate personally, is apathy. I don't find Obama or McCain to be anything other than vanilla politicians who will do or say anything to get elected.

Now that Butterbean has seen definitive proof of midwestern support (meaning that polls may not be a conspiracy by Dem's!) he's given up all hope.Originally posted by: Butterbean
