Earlier Story:

Republican Presidential candidate John McCain will be in St. Charles Monday speaking to a crowd of supporters. McCain’s appearance comes just two days after his opponent drew the largest crowds in state history. Combined, more than 175,000 people showed up to see Barack Obama at two events yesterday.

As he has done many times over the course of the campaign, Obama yesterday linked McCain to the unpopular administration of President George W. Bush, an association McCain has been trying to shake. But that may be harder for McCain to do tomorrow because one of the least popular figures in the White House, Vice President Dick Cheney, is also visiting Missouri tomorrow.

Cheney will be speaking at a private reception for Republican Congressional candidate Blaine Luetkemeyer in the afternoon before heading to Cape Girardeau to speak at a fundraiser for Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder.

Obama will have one his best-known surrogates in St. Louis tomorrow too. President Bill Clinton will be in Kirkwood tomorrow evening.
