KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Democrat Barack Obama turned out enormous crowds at his two stops in battleground Missouri on Saturday in what campaign aides said was a strategy of using his ability to command huge crowds as a way to build excitement heading into the final two weeks of the presidential campaign.

An estimated 100,000 people showed up in St. Louis Saturday morning to hear Obama speak at the Gateway Arch -- the largest crowd ever to hear Obama in the United States.

Saturday evening, a crowd estimated at more than 75,000 thronged the Liberty Memorial near downtown Kansas City for an Obama rally.

With just 17 days to go before the election, campaign aides said they hope to turn out comparable crowds in other battleground states.

''This is the home stretch and our primary goal is to capture the excitement and energy that's surrounded this race,'' said Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki. To turn out large crowds, the campaign is choosing outdoor venues with virtually unlimited capacity.

CNNI is keying in much more on Palin on SNL. Did Sadie draw in a record number of viewers? CNNI doesn't say, but they are obsessed with Sadie.

I would love to see Obama in Georgia to encourage the Jim Martin vote AND Mississippi to spice up the Ronnie Musgrove vote.

I've contributed several times to Martin and Musgrove, as well as Hagen, Begich and Franken. I want to see 60 democratic senators by November 5, when I wake up European-time.

When did McStain or Failin' ever get crowds anything like this. They get a handful of racists, goons, and people who come out of curiosity to see Sideshow Sarah.

It's network bosses are pushing "Palin on SNL" but very very little mention of the 100,000 Obama meeter-greeters in St. Louis.

If ever there were media bias, that would be it.

We went for Obama big time during the primary!

175,000 altogether in one day in a "redstate"! :wow:

Kansas City and the rest of Missouri is gonna go BIG for Obama in the election!:bounce:
