Over 100,000 strong. ?Apparently it was the largest US rally for Obama.

You can't even see where I was in this picture as my group was unfortunately stuck on a hill where the podium was mostly blocked by a low tree branch (to the right of the picture). ?With so many good places to see, we got screwed. ?But it was still lovely. ?2 old women couldn't see anything, and everyone was trying to get them to a place where they could see, pointing out where to look, through which branches, and they excitedly gasped once they saw and pointed him out to each other. ?It was so heartwarming.
2 hours before the event there were already thousands of people lined up, so they opened the gates early, and they even ended up closing off the streets because there were so many people spilling out of the park (which apparently holds only 34,000).
I only saw 3 people protesting. ?They were so outnumbered, I think they gave up saying anything. ?Anytime they tried to say something, they got shouted down with Obama chants. ?Maybe they learned their lesson after Friday's nastiness.?
