Even city officials are amazed at the turnout.

"This is enormous," said Norfolk Mayor Paul Fraim. "The outpouring of support, it's like nothing we've ever witnessed in Norfolk."

Obama officials say 22-thousand people packed Harbor Park to see him speak.

2. This is the part of VA where the most military live, isn't it?

If so, the turnout is telling, imho. Haven't McPain's crowds been a lot less in VA?
