Record Obama Crowd, the Size of a City By Matthew Mosk
PORTLAND, Ore. -- Sen. Barack Obama has seen his share of large crowds over the last 15 months, but his campaign said they have not approached the numbers gathered along the waterfront here right now.
The campaign, citing figures from Duane Bray, battalion chief of Portland Fire & Rescue, estimated that 75,000 people are watching him speak.
The scene suggests this is not an exaggeration. 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.

I don't think so. I know people who are die-hard Democrats who will not vote for Obama no matter what! They will either stay home or vote for McCain (not easy for several people who spent the night in the Lincoln bedroom during the Clinton's reign of terror).
Hey guys those are really cute comments about how if all those Americans were dead it wouldn’t matter, comparing Obama to Hitler because he is widly popular and calling him a muslim but how about some real ideas on how to beat this guy?
This isn’t freaking funny and we mock his draw at our own peril.
Goegeous day here in Portland, much better things to do than listen to this guy.
I don’t think americans will accept Obama. I really don’t.
If Obama gets elected I hope there is a deep and visible split in the country that will take away any of OBama’s power.
It is almost worth going to war over. That is, if enough people still care about the US.
...and the anti-christ gathers his minions.
It’s sunny in Portland today....and Obama’s hanging out where most Portlanders go when they are desperate for sun....such a joke. Y’all should go leave comments at the article.....you really need to!!!!
Portland has many many moonbat libs so it’s not surprising that a lot of them turn out for the most liberal candidate. Portland is not representative of the country.
‘American Ummah’
Glad I am not one of the sheep hive-minds in that sea of fools.
Disgusting.
Being an apostate Muslim in the eyes of Muslims worldwide, the Shiites have much to gain by challenging his reconversion as the ‘Mahdi’...Ahmadi-Nejad has lain the groundwork.
A lot of the lurkers in the Levin lounge listen to Portland’s KPAM on the net for Mark’s show. Following that show, a conservative lady, Victoria Taft, has the airwaves for a couple of hours. She literally is a voice in the wilderness, fighting the liberal, leftwing city hall and crazy ideas like “Fareless Square” which allows all the homeless to ride light rail for free. The city is a mecca for runaways, drug addicts, “homeless”, bums and other slackers. I’ve ridden the MAX during one of my visits and saw panhandlers hassling passengers. A couple of recent shootings on the trams have woken the city up that it must attack that part of the problem, at least.
Obama's havin a big ol' party in Portland, eh?
Why am I not impressed, or even surprised?
That was exactly my thought:
Thank God Hillary has been cleaning his clock lately - otherwise you'd think that everyone had drunk the Kool-Aid.

"We are a party of unity in action. We are an integral part of every struggle and movement for change to eliminate poverty and joblessness, against racism and for full equality. We are participants, initiators and leaders of every movement to make life better now and much better in a socialist future." Yeah, so they supported an oppressive dictator, like the Repubs and Democrats haven't? The CP is still around, has apologized for that whole Stalin thing, and has a quickly growing youth section.

Even if it is Portland, OR,
there are a LOT of people at that rally for this Obama guy.
This worrisome.
Wow! It took 7 whole replies to get to the “Hitler” reference.
