ST. LOUIS - Under the Gateway to the West, the St. Louis arch, Barack Obama addressed an estimated 100,000 people in the “red” Show Me State just 17 days before the general election - his biggest rally to date in the United States.

“Was there a freeconcert before/after?”
That’s what I was wondering
Do not believe what you see.
How can we outdo this???????
Yes, it is a pit. Last time my husband and I drove through there, we discussed how pathetic it was that people choose to live like that. It is a major slum.
Everyone else in the state not at that rally was at a gun store.
Yes sickening
vomit
Well if they elect Hoe-sien...I want their money..every month in checks of $650. It’s only fair.
Yes, and their results are ALWAYS the last to come in so they can manufacture the votes to put the Rat over the top.
KMOX, CBSSt Louis, estimated 50,000 plus two hours before and they were still coming.
Not good.
I was thinking the same thing — need to set up a “FReeper state.” Looks like the Hitler youth re outstretched arms. Creepy.
Seriously, though, this is St. Louis, one of the ahem, poorest, blackest cities around and close enough to other similar populations to have thousands bussed in by ACORN.
No doubt they were giving away food, drink, money, cigarettes, ad nauseum, and was there a concert of some sort beforehand? Just curious. There are always big name “celebrities” at the Zero’s rallies.
At a McCain-Palin rally, you might get a little flag or pom poms yet our side comes out in droves. Keep the faith.
Could anyone tell me why those idiots way down near those buildings are there? They aren’t even in the same time zone! Morons! All those Nazi salutes are interesting though. Sieg Heil!
St Louis is that the city where they kept the polls open so they could get more votes for Kerry?
1- Who made this estimate? The media seems to blindly accept the Obama crowd “estimates”, while questioning Palin’s.
2- I’ve said this on threads where Freepers tout Palin’s crowd size as evidence that McCain will win... Crowd size does not equate to election results. People don’t realize or remember that Walter Mondale would regularly draw epic sized crowds in the final weeks of his doomed campaign against Reagan. He even drew a crowd of over 100,000 in the final weekend.
I don’t think we could.
Answer with a Sarah Palin rally in the same place. Would draw 200,000.
There is different picture at the link showing obama at the podium rather than walking with his arm raised. So now we have two fakes with that same gap? Why does every unfavorable picture have to be a fake? Just because a few are, doesn’t mean they all are.
About 70% of that crowd is photo shopped in.
I live in suburb of St. Louis and I can tell you that this picture has been faked. From the arch grounds, where Obama is talking to the hotel in the background and the courthouse, there is a highway and overpass of highway cloverleafs that lead over to E. St. Louis. You don’t even see a street between Obama, the hotel and the courthouse in the picture — definitely photoshopped.
