3. It would have been 45,000...
...but Obama bussed 5,000 of them to a McCain rally because he felt sorry for him.

5. I'm confused, first they say 40k, and later they say 47k?

An estimated 40,000 people turned out for an Obama rally in Highland, Indiana.

The treat is obviously Barack Obama. The trick, if he can pull it off, is to channel the energy and enthusiasm of the 47,000 democratic supporters in Highland, where he tossed a water bottle to a wobbly fan in the first row, into a big enough majority to win in the rest of the Hoosier state.
