Rachel NOW on msnbc announces Bernie's Portland Maine crowd to be 9,000

[99th_Monkey]

I was wondering cuz that crowd looked HUGE on livestream.

almost as big as historic Madison crowd.

1. Holy shit

I looked up the population of Portland, Maine - 66,194

That is incredible!!

[Enthusiast]

2. Go, Bernie!!!!

[SoapBox]

3. Bernie got great coverage on Politics Nation and Rachel's show.

Apparently...he's not just a fluke!

This is so freak'n exciting!!!

4. Someone said this on another thread but I looked it up to be sure.

Quick search in 2014 Pop. 66,235.
Is my math right? 13.58% of Portland attended?
Outstanding!

5. Maybe many were from all over Maine

they're feeling the Bern, couldn't stay away.

6. He announced earlier today

that there would be 5,000.

So he IS wrong from time to time.

7. And I'm fairly sure....

he's more then willing to admit it.

8. Rachel said Sanders had to keep finding larger venues

as their RSVP list exploded, so he made room for We the People
to see what a real Liberal Democratic Socialist looks and sounds like.

[merrily]

9. That would be his campaign, not him. Besides, maybe people showed up

without having RSVPed first.

This was another time he had booked one venue, then had to switch to a larger one.

Too bad his message isn't resonating.



There's a big difference between someone who has been liberal for decades and someone who as been Third Way for decades and now says, "Don't define me by my past, even my past Presidential campaign or by my participation in and/or silent or vocal approval of my husband's policies. Forget all that and take seriously only what I am saying this minute---which, of course, you can take totally at face value and trust 100%."

10. He packed the house again!
