1. I doubt its the largest. Considering Oprah in SC, and I know he got a lot at an Atlanta Rally.

Plus, hes expecting a full crowd at the target center later in MN

[IDemo]

5. I read earlier that Denver with ~10,000 was the largest so far

I don't have a source, though.

[MadBadger]

6. Well he got 29,000 with Oprah in SC.

[IDemo]

12. I stand corrected. This was from our local paper, so I should know better

[Adelante]

23. Denver was 18,000 with overflow

But it still wasn't the largest.

[otohara]

33. If You Count The Overflow, People in Gym and Lacrosse Field

Denver Post said 18,000

2. I didn't think there were 14,000 Democrats in Idaho....

....obviously he's pulling in a lot of Indies and Repuke vote.

9. Youth Vote.

They guy is a genius in drawing our young voters in to the mix. We need them, not just now - but down the road. They're are best chance at a progressive future.

[IDemo]

13. 50 here, and I'm not the only one

:hi:

[Kittycat]

29. Sorry, didn't mean to offend

I was just commenting on the overwhelming number of young voters turning out in support of Obama. It's not typical to see such a large draw.

As for me, I'm 33 :)

[City Lights]

:hi:

7. It might be the largest ID political rally

People started lining up at 4:30. It's not the largest Obama rally though. Considering it's Idaho, this is unbelievable crazy.

[1corona4u]

21. Yeah, it's definitely crazy.

[Thrill]

8. Who was that introducing him?

[sandnsea]

10. a former governor n/t

[IDemo]

11. former Democratic Governor Cecil Andrus

15. Thank You !!! - Where's He Off To Next ???

:kick:

[MadBadger]

17. BIG Rally in Minnesota. There is apparently no seats left at the 19000 + seat Target Center

[WillyT]

20. Where Do They Post The Campaign Events ???

Or do they?

Went to his site, didn't find it.

:shrug:

[SoxFan]

32. Try your state's page

Go to the individual state page on the Obama site. Each state has its own events listed on its page.

[flpoljunkie]

22. Amazing and unprecedented for a primary!

[IDemo]

18. He has three other stops today

Minnesota is one, I don't recall the others.

[Alizaryn]

16. Thank you for the heads up!

[Thrill]

19. He's on a roll!!

[Adelante]

24. Thanks very much, IDemo

I'm glad I got to see it :hi:

[Big Blue Marble]

25. Thanks that was fun.

I have a sister in Idaho. She loves Obama.

[globalvillage]

26. The St Louis event is live on C-SPAN tonight

9:30 on C-SPAN 1

[WillyT]

27. The Idaho Democratic Party Only Expected 1 Or 2 Thousand People !!!

Got between 13 and 14 thousand!

Totally packed arena!

:woohoo:

[IDemo]

30. They had to have known there would be many more than that

Al Gore sold out 10,000 seats here one year ago in very rapid fashion, and he wasn't running for office. Of course, nobody knew that for sure then..

[abburdlen]

28. Gosh!

Obama/Pedro 08!

[IDemo]

31. I'm going to go ahead and call the Idaho caucus for Obama

I don't see any way he won't win decisively Tuesday given the energy his supporters have in this state. That's a whopping 23 delegates, but every one counts!

It would be nice seeing Idaho's electoral votes going Democratic for the first time since LBJ, but we'll have to wait and see on that one...
