100,000 turn out for Obama in Missouri.

A gigantic crowd numbered by police at 100,000 people turned out for a rally here Saturday by Democrat Barack Obama on the closing stretch of the White House campaign.

According to Obama's campaign, Lieutenant Samuel Dotson of the St Louis Police Department had confirmed 90,000 in a park under the arch, also known as Missouri's "Gateway to the West."
