Wow

<img src="http://media.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/photo/2008/05/18/PH2008051801901.jpg" align="left">At a rally today in sunny Portland, Barack Obama spoke to some 75,000 people, according to the campaign. The mammoth crowd stood on Waterfront Park in downtown Portland adjacent to the scenic Willamette River. People even came by boat and kayak to catch a glimpse of the likely Democratic nominee.

“Hello Portland! Wow. Wow. Wow,” he said as the crowd chanted “Obama!” Looking out at the seemingly never ending crowd, he said, “We have had a lot of rallies around the country. I think it is fair to say that this is the most spectacular setting for the most spectacular crowd that we have had in this entire campaign. This is unbelievable.” He added, “It doesn’t hurt that it’s a perfect day.”

Previously, Obama’s biggest crowd was the night before the Pennsylvania primary, when the candidate spoke to 35,000 on Independence Mall in Philadelphia. While he ended up losing that contest, Obama’s expected to win big here in Oregon on Tuesday.

pretty darn amazing.

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” –Emerson

Have you noticed that at the beginning he absolutely refused to wear a United States flag lapel on his coat, now since it was pointed out and people have 'called' him on it he now wears one every time you see him. :jumm:
