Crowd for Obama Denver rally tops 100000


DENVER (AP) Police estimate the crowd for a rally by Sen. Barack Obama at well over 100,000.

Police spokesman Sonny Jackson says the crowd Sunday spilled out of Civic Center Park to the State Capitol and onto surrounding streets as Obama visited Colorado nine days before the election.

3. HAHA!! That's TWENTY-FIVE TIMES the size of McLame's Denver rally.
:D

"DENVER - Colorado Republicans urged a raucous Denver crowd Friday to do everything possible to elect John McCain in the presidential campaign's critical last days.

(snip)

McCain spokesman Tom Kise said about 4,000 people were at the Denver event."

4. More news/photo's from Denver
The Obama crowd in Denver was huge, 100,000+; compare this to 4,000 at McCain's rally earlier in the week. Here is the complete article and links to the slide show from the Denver Post of today's Obama event.

8. This is how we win
"And if I'm president, we'll give every child, everywhere the skills and the knowledge they need to compete with any worker, anywhere in the world," he said. "I will not allow countries to out-teach us today so they can out-compete us tomorrow."

11. McLame and Failin' and all the other rethuglicans had better accept the truth.




They are about to be handed the biggest defeat in any Presidential election EVER.

The voters aren't going to forget the past eight years any time soon.

14. Those crowds are sweet! McLame drew 2000 to my town today
Of course that's in a metro area of about 110,000. And our weather's not nearly as nice either. But damn, 98K is a big difference! Shows who's resonating with the people and who isn't.
