Seventy Five THOUSAND?

What can I say but WOW!

Some 75,000 people flocked to Portland’s waterfront Sunday to watch Barack
Obama speak, making it the biggest rally the campaign has held to date.
Thousands stood on the lawn, dozens watched from boats and from the bridge
stretching across the Willamette River. A few kayakers held their paddles and
tried to keep their kayaks straight as they watched the candidate, who stood on
a makeshift platform.
