No pictures. It was impossible. Between the flags, banners, big heads, and dripping ice cream on my neck, I couldn't. You would have to have been there to believe it.

Sounds like an awesome rally. If Bush carries Oregon, I will be pleasantly surprised. Being from the Texas coast, mid-80's and no shade sounds like perfect outdoor weather to me ;o)

[cspackler]

Damn, when I first read the headline, I thought it said "Bush in Morford". Scared the crap out of me...

[Keith]

Thanks for that! It's always good to hear reports from the battlegrounds...Taking Oregon would be SWEET!

I think its great that he's coming to NJ. But they are blowing a big opportunity by not visiting the northern counties. Northern jersey was devastated by 9/11. Bush can peel away votes from the RATS. The fact that Jersey City elected Brett Shundler (R) fopr Mayor, in one of the largest margins of victory in the city's history. Jersey City and Hudson County is legendary RAT country. These people love Bush and they can peel more votes away from Kerry.

Bush lost Oregon by 6900 votes four years ago. The number of Bush posters in the Portland area is amazing.
I really do believe Oregon is going to go to Bush this election. Last night at the entrance to the fairgrounds there were a total of 9 protesters.... 9

Thank you so much for this report! I just love these stories!

Sounds like it was indeed awesome!! We know exactly how you felt, our first ever rally in NH was the same. we too were in awe!!! 10,000 people packed in so tight we could barely move, standing. 4 and half hours standing in one spot! that doesn't count the time waiting in line outside. When the rally got out, there was foot traffic for 3 miles heading back to town,folks who decided to walk instead of wait for the buses to empty and come back. A mile stretch of buses for those who rode them, packed to capacity.

I worry until I hear these things from across the country. You read about freepers attending Kerry rallies, and news coverage of them, 200 400 600, nothing like Bushes turnouts. Congratulations and Happy Anniversary

This was live on c-span last night, I think...it looked like a wonderful time!

[gidget7]

Any chance they will do what they have done in other states, make another stop the same day further upstate? we only got notified of the NH rally I went to 2 days before hand

Wonderful post after all of the press blathering about Kerry's "momentum" which I just can't seem to find. The after debate gatherings ~ Kerry 300 ~ Bush 20,000...huuuuu

Woo Hoo! Before the Convention there was a rally in St. Paul Minnesota with a crowd about the same size that was simply electrifying. There is no other way to describe the reaction of the entire crowd. The Campaign Bus drove right into the Xcel Energy Center and the crowd went absolutely nuts. I am so glad to hear you felt the same thing in Oregon! The base is on fire.

What I do not understand is whether or not the rally was in Medford or Central Point.

[OregonRancher]

Shucks! Central Point is a small town just north west of Medford. For all intents, it's just a burb of Medford. There were folks from Roseburg, K-Falls, Yreka, all over. Lots of folks had traveled for hours to get here.

Bush is one heck of a magnet

[RedBloodedAmerican]

WOOHOO! I am going to see him tomorrow here in Daytona!! Thanks for the post.

And also, some of my family who lives in the Portland/Hillsboro area who are registered Democrats and have always voted Democrat are changing their vote to Bush!!!!!

YAHOO!! Can you say "LANDSLIDE"?!

[MistyCA]

I would love to see him take Oregon!!!!! And Minnesota!!!! :) Actually, I want to see him sweep the nation! :)

[Pippin]

I'd like to see him take Maryland! :o)

[OregonRancher]

The loudest and fiercest response came after Bush promised to keep the US safe and secure. The crowd went bonkers!!!! Sustained cheering and clapping.

[mabelkitty]

WP called W a rock star (Dana Milbank).
Called Kerry an okay vessel for Dems hatred against Bush.
They are nuts that W usurped ther title from BJ!
