They are not nearly that big. I bet most of you have never heard of them. They may have padded the total - but I'm sure Obama would have had nearly that many there anyway.

The Decemberists played at the 4,000-seat Memorial auditorium...in front of maybe 1,000. Yeah, they're huge. Hey Bradkanus, if the people were streaming out after the band played then I guess you can credit Obama fro drawing 90,000! I live in Sacramento.

BTW, I live in Portland, but I didn't go to the rally--had I only known the Decemberists were performing! (Although I confess, I keep mixing them up with the Shinns). The fact that this was really a concert is going to go down in history as one of the great cover-ups. All of the local news stations (including the Fox affiliate) played along with the conspiracy, pretending in brodcast after broadcast that it was a political rally. When I saw the first post on NewsBusters I thought it was satire--I kept checking to see if I had stumbled onto the Onion.

No way are they attracting a mass crowd of 75,000 people. Good try though. Haha, The Decemberists are a tiny indie band. No way are they attracting a mass crowd of 75,000 people. Good try though.

They thought the Fresh Prince Will Smith was closing the show. They didn't show all the folks headed out when started talking. My ass they stayed to listen to him.

They're doing everything they can to elect him. This is why they're always putting pictures of him in black and white so it looks "historic." Hurry, come be a part of this historic moment! You can be in black and white too! Elections should be about issues - not emotions. The MSM loves Obama and they’ll never tell the truth. They’re doing everything they can to elect him.

Although McCain supporters attempt to down play it, it's still pretty impressive. Makes you wonder, if all it takes is a free concert, how many times will Obama match or exceed these numbers before November, doesn't it? Yeah, keep thinking it was the band. Whatever it takes to keep your spirits up. The larger point, I think, is that 75,000 people stuck around to hear Obama speak.
