An Obama aide sized the crowd at about 40,000. It was probably was a little bit less, but a senior campaign official said it was the biggest the campaign had ever seen.
As usual, about 3,000 guests directly in front of Obama were sent through magnetometers and enclosed by metal barriers. Another 25,000 crowded Independence Park; some even listened from a good three thousand feet away, well behind Independence Hall.
I counted at least a hundred Philadelphia police officers. There were state troops. TSA personnel magging the crowd. A helicopter hovered over the square. The fire department set up a command post with extra medical supplies.

After the rally, the crowds' spontaneous response seemed to initially worry the officers. But, they seemed to relax and let the people be.

I don't give a damn what the Republican attack machine says. They DO NOT want to have to deal with this guy...and this brand of excitement. If this guy wins the nomination, it'll only get louder and more passionate. Like smelling blood in the water.
If people think this rally is bananas, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
The Republicans don't want to deal with this. Don't believe the hype.

9. I bet McCain is looking at these photos and pissing his pants. |

He knows that once Clinton exits the crowds across America will grow and grow. He knows that at this rate Obama is going to win by a landslide.
My guess is he will try to assist the republicans so he can try to build power in congress for the republicans before he has to go back.
