This is the largest crowd yet that Barack Obama has gathered in a single meeting. 75,000 people rally in Portland to hear Obama.
For hours now, we've been seeing stories about the huge lines for today's outdoor rally at Waterfront Park in Portland, Oregon. It's now been confirmed that the actual crowd on hand topped 75,000 people (60,000 inside the gates of Waterfront Park, with another 15,000 outside).
Here is what the largest crowd yet of this Presidential campaign looks like as you can see in the image.
UPDATED: From the Washington Post:
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.
Over the past fifteen months, you've helped us build an incredible movement unlike anything that has ever been seen before. But this is only the beginning. We still have a long road ahead and much work to do, but you can contribute now to help us seize this moment, and continue this momentum, all the way to November.
