Warren: We're not all that bad

It's been a long campaign, and there is little doubt that the enthusiasm for Obama's campaign is unprecedented in history. Nonetheless, it is Missouri that is solely responsible for record turnout at Obama's rallies, as his 100,000 spectators in St. Louis and 75,000 in Kansas City this past Saturday were a one-day record for his campaign.

And although there was some earlier worry that perhaps there's something wrong with the Show-Me State (if you think about it, it's not that bad of a nickname, really), I'd also like to add that Missouri's polling average has leapfrogged that of nearly every other swing state, and now Obama's lead puts Missouri first in line to be the next "Safe Obama" state.

I mean, seriously. Look how many freakin' people there are:
