Obama's Iowa Event Largest In Recent State History

Update (3:35PM): LBJ drew a crowd of 125,000, so Obama's crowd is not the largest in state's history -- just in recent state history.

Original post: Des Moines police estimate Obama's crowd today was 25,000 -- more than the 15,000 John Kerry drew in 2004, and more than the 10,000 Sarah Palin drew about one week ago.

Based on those comparison numbers, The Iowa Independent speculates that it is the largest political crowd in the state's history.
