Sen. Barack Obama rocked an overflow crowd at KeyArena on Friday in one of the biggest political rallies the state has ever seen. So many people showed up to catch a glimpse of Obama, police had to help keep the peace after thousands were shut out. "I'm fired up. I'm ready to go," Obama said as he took the stage to a deafening roar from the crowd of more than18,000 inside the arena. Obama's appearance highlighted a remarkable day that saw all three of the top presidential candidates campaigning in Washington on the eve of the state's precinct caucuses. Obama's Democratic rival, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, made appearances in Tacoma and Spokane on Friday after speaking in Seattle on Thursday. Republican Sen. John McCain, who has his party's nomination all but wrapped up, met supporters at Seattle's Westin Hotel. KeyArena was filled to capacity hours before Obama took the stage. Some 3,000 people listened from an overflow area outside. seattletimes.nwsource.com
