Barack Obama has been setting records for attendance at campaign events all season, but today's rally in Portland, Oregon was off the charts. 75,000 people gathered at Waterfront Park to catch a glimpse of the phenomena that is Obama.Note to the Clintonistas and the anti-Obama wingnuts: Oregon is 92% White and only 2% African American. Hmmmm.

Record Obama Crowd, the Size of a City
75,000 gather for Obama rally at waterfront park
A free 45 minute rock concert by The Decembrists preceded the rally. But you wouldn't know that if you only read the Times and watch CNN.
