75,000 Watch Obama In Portland

Tryan Hartill May 18, 2008

Portland Police and Fire estimated 75,000 turned out at a Sunday rally for Barack Obama at Tom McCall Waterfront Park. According to campaign officials, this was the largest crowd to attend a Obama speech yet. This is less than 2 days ahead of Oregon’s vote by mail primary and Obama is expected to carry the State by more than 10 points. Oregon’s vote will be watched closely because a big win would give Obama a majority of the overall State delegates. Full coverage from around the web in the links below:
