2. Great pics

He always has such a spring in his step. Barbara looks fantastic, too, and I love the diversity of the people.

3. Man, are all our Democratic women really short

or is it just magnified next to him because he seems so larger than life anyway...Debi Wasserman Schultz, Patty Murray and now Barbara all look so tiny...

4. Those are my people!

Don't they look happy? Aren't they diverse? Is it me, or are those the cutest kids evah?

Los Angeles seems to be playing nice today... as I look out my office window, past Staples Center toward USC, I see no traffic jams on the freeways, I see no helicopters, hear no sirens... nice. I've been watching since around 10 today, and you just couldn't tell something this big was going on!

I really like that he's gone on to talk with Piolin! So very, very cool!

5. Top photo, right side... is that the enthusiasm gap I see?

What, we couldn't fill the parking spaces with people?

6. Beautiful pics!

Both the President and Sen. Boxer look great! I hope his support has a HUGH impact in helping Barbara TROUNCE Carly Fiorina.

A fundraising e-mail from the Boxer campaign's finance director today includes the following postscript:

P.S. The attacks keep on coming. We just learned that National Right to Life is launching a wave of radio ads attacking Barbara for defending a woman's right to choose.

In the most recent poll, Boxer's lead over Carly Fiorina dropped from 7 points to 5 points, and Fiorina is blasting the state with new radio and TV attack ads.

10. Thank you, gosh I miss my home state looking at these.

I was from Orange County but lived in LA for a few years before moving East 25 years ago.

:cry:


Just listened to the final few minutes of Obama's speech in LA and he really worked it. Sleeves rolled up, sweat on his forehead, as he lambasted the republican party.

11. You know what - just face it
