1. I doubt its the largest. Considering Oprah in SC, and I know he got a lot at an Atlanta Rally. |
|
Plus, hes expecting a full crowd at the target center later in MN

5. I read earlier that Denver with ~10,000 was the largest so far |
|
I don't have a source, though.

29. Sorry, didn't mean to offend |
|
I was just commenting on the overwhelming number of young voters turning out in support of Obama. It's not typical to see such a large draw.
As for me, I'm 33 :)

7. It might be the largest ID political rally |
|
People started lining up at 4:30. It's not the largest Obama rally though. Considering it's Idaho, this is unbelievable crazy.

32. Try your state's page |
|
Go to the individual state page on the Obama site. Each state has its own events listed on its page.

30. They had to have known there would be many more than that |
|
Al Gore sold out 10,000 seats here one year ago in very rapid fashion, and he wasn't running for office. Of course, nobody knew that for sure then..

31. I'm going to go ahead and call the Idaho caucus for Obama |
|
I don't see any way he won't win decisively Tuesday given the energy his supporters have in this state. That's a whopping 23 delegates, but every one counts!
It would be nice seeing Idaho's electoral votes going Democratic for the first time since LBJ, but we'll have to wait and see on that one...
