After 75,000 people turned out for Barack Obama’s rally in Portland, Oregon Sunday, Obama’s campaign emailed a video of the rally to supporters today and asked for volunteers and votes.

Democrats in Oregon and Kentucky will go to the polls today to cast their primary votes. Obama’s previous attendance record for a rally was 35,000 at Philadelphia’s Independence Mall, according to his campaign. See the video below:

Deputy Campaign Manager Steve Hildebrand told Obama’s supporters that votes in today’s primaries will be significant and encouraged them to phone bank for the senator through a section of his campaign website.
