Police: More than 100,000 at Obama rally
http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/oct/24/obama-rally-prompts-denver-to-beef-up-sunday/


Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama will speak this morning at Civic Center Park in Denver, before heading up north to a rally in Fort Collins. The Rocky is blogging live from the event.

12:55 p.m.

Sarah Moore emerged from the Barack Obama rally at Civic Center with a huge smile on her face.

“I just love him,” said Moore, a student at the University of Denver. “He brings such a change for the future.”

Moore said Obama’s promise to fix problems in the health care system resonated with her because her mom, Angela, has multiple sclerosis.

“I see the struggles that she’s gone through,” she said.

Obama cares about the middle class and people who are struggling, she said.

Angela Moore, 45, said her daughter has been a die-hard Obama supporter even before he announced that he was running for president.

“She’s the one who talked me into” supporting Obama, Angela Moore said.

“She was for Hillary Clinton,” Sarah Moore said of her mother.

2. Obama did make a point of mentioning that the crowd seemed to extend
all the way back to the capitol building.
