Barack Obama Attracts 75,000 Patchuli-Smelling Supporters in Oregon
Over the weekend, Barack Obama attracted a record-breaking number of supporters to see him him speak as he toured his Hope-a-palooza festival through Oregon just before its primaries tomorrow…
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.
Always the smooth talker, that guy, huh? And imagine how many wows he would have dropped if could have seen the people in the submarines.
You have to take this whole thing into perspective, though. Remember: this is Portland, Oregon. In that city, you can get around 60,000 people to show up for a decent soy sculpting festival.

Cubby, Darling, he can't help it if he is a two-minute man. Let him get his second wind. That is when he will really give it hard to the crowd and still leave them unsatisfied.
Nicely put John May.
Have not seen these crowds since Pope Paul's world tour. Go Obama!!! Hard to watch, isn't it for all you Obama wannabes. He is the real things. Finally!!!
I think he just seems too good to be true. That is the only reason I can conceive of that anyone, particularly a Dem, would attempt to diminish the impact that Obama is having on the American people. This is awesome. I haven't seen people this interested in a primary in …well, ever.
I won't go so far as to make Obama a miracle worker, but I do agree with you, John, he's reaching his potential in a very short time.
C'mon, you offer a free joint and a glass of Chardonnay to come to a rally and you will have the entire nation of France showing uo.

Portland, Oregon = the #1 green city in the country and is leading the way for the rest.
Portland, Oregon = the 21st century
west virginia + kentucky = the 19th century
obama = president
trying to have a rational conversation with a neo-con = a waste of time
peace
