This is apparently an Obama campaign rally in Missouri Saturday.
 
Freakin' Missouri. Freakin' red state.

I don't know if it is photoshopped but Obama supporters are very loyal and they would bound to be coming in from anywhere
 
Just as an asside,,, did you ever read the story about what was happeing in America when Jackie Robinson first broke the color barrier in baseball?
 
He was due to playing in Chicago for the Dogers - Chicago being a fairly large black sity back then.
 
An express train ran from, I believe Kentucky, up into Illinios bringing Jackie Robinson supports to the city for the game. It must have been awesome. I cannot recall the name of the train,, they had a catchy name for it.. ."Freedom Express" - or some such name.
 
I tried googling it just now, no success finding it.
 
But this Obama fever could be similar and I think it is. Ppl from everywhere coming in.
 
 

It wasn't photoshopped. There were about 100,000 people there today. One of the local radio stations said 200,000 but I think is was probably closer to 100,000.
 
St. Louis is a liberal city, the farther away from the city you go the more conservative it gets.
 
(edit) And no, I wasn't there, I had to work.

If you look at the picture greenjeans posted, the building in the background is the Old Courthouse. That is the building that held the Dred Scott trial where Scott won his freedom before the Missouri Supreme Court and then the US Supreme Court overturned the decision.

cool, thanks for the bit of history.

I propose we send pazuzu out into the Missouri countryside to open a can of whoopass on those repub farmers. sounds like they need some attitudinal adjustment and pazuzu is just the man to do it.

McCain will be here this morning in St. Charles. We'll have to see what kind of crowd he can draw.

I just saw on the news that they are expecting 3000-5000 people at McCain's rally.
