I'm getting ready to go see Hillary!!
I just got home. Had to go the doctor. Of all days to get an ear infection! I drove past the Abbey (where the fundraiser is) and saw a couple of the SS dudes with the dark glasses and ear pieces on. No sign of the asshole anti-abortion freaks that are planning to protest.

But they have the resturant closed and they are prepping the joint.

It HOT! I'm gonna ware shorts and a snappy little shirt. I'm getting EXCITED!!!

2. Coolness
I like Hillary, and am convinced that if anything, Universal Health Care will be a result of her Presidency.

So go Hillary!

So far I have my cleaning lady, my parents, my three best friends and my doctor wanting a shout out to her.

I'll try and post pics later.

19. Oh, we'll be there
It's not like Hillary isn't a cool event after all.

I just wish she had a different organization less attached to the DLC philosophy of watering downmessages and creating a no difference meme at the general. This lost us the White House two times in a row, to devastating effect on the country.

24. She's an awesome speaker, and better in person than on camera.
I spent 15 minutes of quality time with her in the green room at Bergamot Station. Took this pic, which captures what you don't see on TV.

11. When did you see her?
I've seen Bill twice. Just in the limo. But I met Al and Tipper. GOD is he good looking! And Tipper has the most beautiful blue eyes.

oozes sex appeal and is I got a hug.Sigh.Just charming.And he always remembers me.Hillary was very standoffish and her speaking skills left much to be desired.But I also think she was tired.Hillary also only mingles with the "big donor' and Bill goes out of his way to mingle with the "average folks" to the point of shortchanging the rich on time.He knows where the votes are!

10. Tons of pics I hope
I dying to see who the foo-foo "VIP" peeps might be.

Plus I have some anti-choice assholes to smack down as well. Someone suggested I pass out inlistment forms. I heard about this protest that's planned and I call our local chapter of NOW and gave them the heads up.

20. It should turn out to be exciting!
She always draws large crowds where ever she goes.

Anti-choice people - remember the vid that was posted recently?
If they think abortion is murder, what jail sentence should the woman
that has an abortion get? - This was asked of a bunch of anti-choice
protestors and all of them said they had never thought about it.
Shows how well they think through their issues and where they choose
to stand on them.

18. My mom wants a full fashion report.
She told be to take notes on her hair, shoes and outfit. My mom's a big fan and loves her. The Clinton's turned my republican parents into die hard democrats. Every holiday when we toast at dinner my step-dad says "Power to the liberals!". I guess I raised them good!

21. Probably later tonight.
I know I won't be able to sleep. The event lasts 'till around 10. That's when the resturant is back open to the public. The Logo thing starts 6pm out time and Hillary will leave the Tee-Vee studio after that and come here. Just pray I don't knock the shit out of the anti-abortionist that are planning on showing up.

29. Let them scream and may ask them why they hate America...
...or not...

Better to just leave the Anti-Choicers alone and act like they aren't there. They are sick, hateful people for the most part.

31. That's the best advice.
My mom said the same thing. I don't think they are going to get a close as the woman that posted the event as they want to.

And in WEST HOLLYWOOD?? Please let 'em show up. Maybe at least they might get some good fashion tips and hair doo advice!

37. My goodness how exciting
It's good to see you so passionate and so excited about going to see a presidential candidate. When I next visit the US -I'm thinking of trying to come during next year when the campaign is in full swing -I'm definitely going to try and attend a few of these events and meet some of the candidates. My BIL went to a Gore-Lieberman rally when he visited Chicago and he said it was a wonderful and unique experience. We don't have fundraisers and rallies on the same scale in my country as you do in yours.

Even though Hilary would not be my first choice for the nomination (not that I have a say), I would LOVE to meet both her and her husband. I loved them when they were in the White House together and I would absolutely do anything to get to meet Bill and Hilary and thank them for allowing me to spend my teenaged years in an environment of world peace and prosperity.

You may find when you meet Hilary that you are overwhelmed by the experience. There was a female politician in politics in my country who had the same kind of national profile and characteristics in my country that Hilary does in yours and I felt the same way about her that I do about Hilary. Like you, I attended a fundraiser for her and I went up to meet her. You could feel the charisma even when you weren't close to her. But when I finally got to meet her, she clasped my hand in both of hers and I was just so bowled over that I was left lost for words and hopelessly trying to remember what it was that I was trying to say to her. I'm sure Hilary has the same kind of charisma.

Enjoy your experience to the fullest and share your experiences and pictures with us. Cherish every moment of it. I know you will

39. Hold tight kids ...
I just got home.

Pics were not so good.


But the excitement in the air was fantastic.

Lemme grab a bite of food and I'll try to upload what I've got.

I DID shake her hand and Grey Davis as well.

It was wonderful!!!

40. Woohoo! That's so exciting - you even got to shake her hand!
I can't wait to see the pics - even if they aren't so good! I always end up getting so excited at these events that I can't focus on taking good photographs - what's more important is the experience, really. I'm glad you had such a great time!

41. The energy in that room was fantastic.
Hillary said, "We could solve our energy problems right here in this room!"

She really enjoyed herself. I am so pumped up right now. But hungry. I'll try and post soon. I need to eat. It was just magic. That's all can say right now.
