An estimated 75,000 gathered on the banks of the Willamette River in Portland on Sunday to see Barack Obama.

“Wow! Wow! Wow!” were his first words, as he surveyed the multitude, which included people in kayaks and small pleasure craft on the river.

It is “fair to say this is the most spectacular setting for the most spectacular crowd” of his campaign, he told the crowd.

Previously, the campaign’s biggest crowd was when the candidate spoke to 35,000 on Independence Mall in Philadelphia.

Oh. A mom joke. I suppose I need to retort with a gay joke then.


If i was 12 perhaps.


There were 75,000 proud Oregonians there today. This broke Obama's previous attendance record by more than double. So i'll just bask in that fact instead. This guy is inspiring all sorts of Americans and if bsams last post is any indicator, all the Republicans have to offer is more fear, more rumour, more innuendo. After being held in the grip of this fear and swift boat crap for way too long, I don't think people are in any mood for another election cycle of it anymore.
