Reaction, Reporting the GR Rally

From the Associated Press:
The race's changing dynamics also appear to be giving Obama's supporters confidence. He drew a large crowd in downtown Grand Rapids that extended beyond the Secret Service checkpoints, despite temperatures in the 40s and the fact that the city is located in the heart of GOP territory.


From MLive:
Grand Rapids police estimated that 15,900 people attended the downtown rally, said Lt. Patrick Dean.


From the NY Times:
The turmoil in the markets seems to have buoyed the Obama campaign. Thousands turned out despite a gray chill, and when he began saying, “If I’m president,” they chanted, “When.”

He demurred. “I’m superstitious, folks.”
