I can’t tell. To the left of that stage, there’s another group of several thousand, and in the river, dozens of boats are bobbing near the shoreline. We’re awaiting Obama.

Nope. It's a crowd of 75,000, as per MSNBC. Ridiculously amazing.

Seeing white women holding up "Hillary" signs makes me want to kill again.
