Compare and contrast and a chuckle
From The Oregonian:
Tens of thousands jammed Tom McCall Waterfront Park in Portland on Sunday to watch Sen. Barack Obama wrap up a busy weekend in Oregon and a historic campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.
The Portland Fire Bureau estimated the crowd at 72,000. About 60,000 squeezed inside the gates, and 12,000 watched from outside.
From WBKO in Bowling Green, KY:
With two days left until the primary election, Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton continued her campaigning in Kentucky on May 18, this time stopping in Bowling Green.
Hundreds of people from all walks of life came together today to support Clinton and to get an up close look at the former First Lady.
And this quote from the article in The Oregonian gave me a chuckle:
“I actually didn’t vote for Obama,” said Tita Compere, 25, who spent 10 hours Saturday volunteering for Clinton’s campaign. But Compere was impressed by the crowd’s diversity, something she felt was lacking in Clinton’s televised Friday night event. “It was just 40-year-old white women,” she said.
