100,000 Turn Out for Obama

More people came to hear Barack Obama speak in St. Louis today than attended his August acceptance speech at Invesco Field in Denver.

The crowd was estimated at 100,000 people. That makes it the largest crowd yet for an Obama gathering, second only to the 200,000 people who turned out for his speech in Germany. Previously, an estimated 80,000 people attended both his Democratic National Convention speech and a rally in Portland, Oregon.
