Portland Oregon sure seems to be Obama Country!! So much for Obama not appealing to white people. All around the massive crowd at this past weekend's rally, there was hardly a face that was not white. Checkout this photo from inside the crowd:
There was one man selling post cards that were supposed to be of Bush burning in hell. It showed a severed head floating in molten lava. However, the head really did not look at all like Bush. I think the guy was just trying to make a fast buck.
At one point, Obama saluted his enthusiastic supporters, as you can see in this photo:
( NOTE: Image quality here is poor due to using Digital Zoom. The crowd was so huge, it was hard for folks to get close to Obama. )
Estimates of the crowd ranged from 50 to 80 thousand people. It was easily the biggest political rally of the current Presidential campaign.
Portland Oregon is a rather unique and different place, I must admit. So I am not sure how much this sort of spectacle will translate to the rest of the country.
But one thing is very clear: Obama is for real! I think that the election is his to lose. It will take a near miracle to defeat him. He is simply receiving so much adoration from so many places and people.
