From the Baltimore Sun:
The crowd covers the lawn here at Tom McCall Waterfront Park, from the streetside entry gates down to the Willamette River. Portland fire officials estimate 60,000 people are packed inside the park proper and another 10-15,000 are watching outside the gates. Spectators are lining the bridge behind Obama and watching, bikini-clad, from boats on the river. ... At one point, someone in the crowd shouted an expression of love at Obama. He broke his speech for a moment: "I love you too," he said. "If you vote for me on Tuesday," he said, "We won't just win Oregon. We'll win this nomination, we'll win this general election. And you and I together, we'll change this country, we'll change the world."Seventy-five thousand people seemed to like the sound of that.
