Judging by the sheer size of the line snaking through downtown Portland seemingly all the way to Tualatin, and the size of the crowd already present in The Bowl south of the Hawthorne Bridge in Waterfront Park, I’d be surprised if everyone waiting to get in actually gets to do so. At this point I fully expect the reports later to claim this is the largest crowd Obama has ever managed to assemble in one place. But me, I’ll be watching the speech online.
