May 19, 2008 Obama Portland Rally Draws 75,000!
It has now been confirmed that at Barack Obama’s rally on Saturday in Portland, Oregon the crowd on hand topped 75,000 people (60,000 inside the gates of Waterfront Park, with another 15,000 outside) – the largest crowd for a rally in Presidential campaigning history! Wow, Obama really has started a movement!
The sea of heads stretches for half a mile along the grassy embankment, while others watch from kayaks and power boats bobbing on the Willamette River. More hug the rails of the steel bridge that stretches across the water and crowds are even watching from jetties on the opposite shore. – Washington Post
