Obama Rally Draws 100,000 in Missouri
Amy Chozick reports on the presidential race from St. Louis.
Barack Obama attracted 100,000 people at a Saturday rally here, his biggest crowd ever at a U.S. event.
The crowd assembled under the Gateway Arch on a sunny Saturday afternoon to hear Obama speak about taxes and slam the Republicans on economic issues.
Lt. Samuel Dotson of the St. Louis Police Department confirmed the number of attendees piled into the grassy lawn by the Mississippi River.
To be sure, big crowds don’t always signal a big turnout on Election Day. But Obama’s ability to draw his largest audience yet in a typically red state that just weeks ago looked out of reach, could signal a changing electoral map.
Colin Powell (Republican, former General in charge of all forces in Iraq during Desert Storm, former Commander of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and former Secretary of State) just endorsed Barack Obama.

Just reinforcing the fact that his credentials say "Republican SURGE SURGE SURGE" :)
Also, Obama raised $150,000,000 in September alone.
quote:
Obama campaign manager David Plouffe emails supporters this morning with the news that Obama has raised an extraordinary sum in September: Over $150 million.
The Obama camp added 632,000 new donors, bringing the campaign's total number of donors to over $3 million. Also extraordinary: The average donation for the month was less than $100.
The key here is that September was when the contours of the current context first became truly visible: The GOP convention took place at the start of the month, and hockey mom/pitbull with lipstick Sarah Palin was first introduced to America as John McCain's choice for backup commander in chief.
What's more, as the month unfolded, it became clearer and clearer that McCain had made a strategic decision to wage a campaign dominated by slimy attacks, vile adver-sleazements, and cosmic levels of mendacity. And Obama's donor base responded in kind, as did more than half a million newcomers.

As if it weren't sealed already, that's the nail in the coffin right there.
