75,000 people turned out to hear Obama rally in Portland this afternoon. This is his largest crowd to date according to the campaign.

Here are some of the things he said during the rally:

“I don’t give up on things, we’ve gotta make choices and we can’t be everywhere at once,”

“We will have the majority of pledged delegates at that point and obviously are going to make the argument to any superdelegates remaining that we should be the nominee,”

“I just want everybody to understand, that Senator Clinton and I have had a terrific contest, she has been a formidable candidate, she has been smart and tough and determined and she has worked as hard as she can. And she has run an extraordinary campaign, it has been an extraordinary campaign,”

“And look, we have real differences on certain issues, but whatever differences exist between myself and Senator Clinton pale in comparison to the differences with the other side.”

During my speech at the N.R.A., a loud noise backstage, that sounded like a chair falling, distracted the crowd and interrupted my speech.

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama apologized on Wednesday to WXYZ television reporter Peggy Agar for calling her “sweetie” during a campaign stop Wednesday in Sterling Heights, Michigan

Obama apologized in a voicemail he left on Agar’s cell phone:

“Hi Peggy. This is Barack Obama. I’m calling to apologize on two fronts. One was you didn’t get your question answered and I apologize. I thought that we had set up interviews with all the local stations. I guess we got it with your station but you weren’t the reporter that got the interview. And so, I broke my word. I apologize for that and I will make up for it.

“Second apology is for using the word ’sweetie.’ That’s a bad habit of mine. I do it sometimes with all kinds of people. I mean no disrespect and so I am duly chastened on that front. Feel free to call me back. I expect that my press team will be happy to try to make it up to you whenever we are in Detroit next.”

Here is the video which Obama called Peggy Agar “sweetie”:
