100,000 Strong

100,000 people showed up at a rally for Barack Obama in St. Louis, Missouri on Saturday -- the same Missouri that has traditionally been a red state. These folks didn't show up to see Sen. Obama because he's a "celebrity." They were there because they are yearning for change.

If this can happen in Missouri, there is hope for America.

a red state?

I don't know if I would call Missouri a state that has traditionally been red.

We may have been red in the last 2 presidential elections, but we were blue in the 2 before that. Of our last 10 governors, the party split has been pretty even.

And since '68, the canidate who has won Missouri has gone on to win the White House. Blue or red. We've got a pretty good batting average, and I think we are going to continue it this time around.
