On Friday night, Barack Obama spoke to a crowd officially estimated at 35,000 which may have been tens of thousands more. It was in any case the biggest crowd of the campaign.
These photos show the crowd gathering, and then the event itself.
Obama unveiled a new speech, which has become the template for his closing speeches across PA today.
After the event, some 5,000 participants
went on a spontaneous march throughdowntown Philadelphia. One reporter
saw them still at it a mile away. Here's an eyewitness account by a participant.
And I finally figured out what that t-shirt says, worn by the young woman in the middle in the first photo: Muggles for Obama.
