If you're searching for more evidence of the Obama momentum sweeping the country, you need look no further than North Dakota. In the largest political rally seen in the state since 1934 when FDR visited the state, Sen. Obama addressed a packed house of 17,000 excited North Dakotans and Northern Minnesotans at the North Dakota Democratic Convention in Grand Forks.

officials said more than 17,000 people joined, for a few hours, the North Dakota Democratic Party’s convention, cheering, stomping and yelling like a crowd at a rock concert when Obama took the stage, and throughout his 45-minute speech. Minutes before the speech started, a thousand or more still waiting in line were allowed to hurry in to stand on the floor after all the seats were full.
