Huge Obama crowd in Missouri

The candidate assesses the masses: "All I can say is 'Wow.'"

Reports are trickling in that the Obama campaign is claiming 100,000 people attended his 1 p.m. rally in St. Louis on Saturday. If true, it would mark the largest number of people at an Obama event ever in the United States.

"All I can say is 'Wow,'" said Obama, upon taking the stage.

It probably helped that the University of Missouri's much-anticipated college football showdown with No.1-ranked Texas is a night game.
