No shouts of "Kill him!" or "Terrorist!", just a massive feel-good rally of hopeful optimistic supporters, over 100,000 of them. A remarkable photo, even more impressive than the one taken here during the primary.
For me, the most amazing thing about Barack's speech in Saint Louis wasn't or anything he said in particular, although it was a fine speech. It was the amazing crowd that had assembled to hear him speak. I've never seen Saint Louisans celebrate together so joyously, except maybe after a Cardinals World Series victory. I saw aging suburbanites, young loft dwellers, and elderly African-American women chatting together spontaneously, and old folks and emo kids smiling and warmingly nodding to each other. Everbody's on the same side, we' re going to restore American and we know we can pull it off in just a couple of weeks.
