Gores' speech last evening in San Francisco...

[xiamiam]

Thuderous applause when he said we must take back our democracy...Every one of 400 or 500 or so or us there had one thing on our mind...todays award and Gore running...At one point, the crowd started chanting Run Al Run...he did not say No...he didnt say Yes either...but I was happy that he could look into that crowd and see such a fine group of supporters...there was an older guy with a GORE/OBAMA shirt..he got a lot of attention..it was really a nicely done shirt and he said he had it made..
This was a fundraiser for Barbara Boxer...I love Barbara and am so proud that she is my senator..I tried to get a few letters from posters here to him...who knows if they ever will but I tried...I got a few photos which I'll post after I find my photobucket password...

The camera crews were set up across the street as well as the draft Gore petitions...he knows how much support is out here...waiting for him

3. Thanks for the report!

Speaking of Gore/Obama, I recently saw a car with a bumper sticker with this very enticing ticket...and this was in the very red suburbs of Dallas.

5. I'm hoping for Gore/Richardson myself

Experienced, empathetic, earth-friendly (and earth-toned), intelligent

6. Could you estimate the proportion of the crowd chanting "Run Al, Run" -

Media reports leave it unclear --- was the thunderous applause for:

His statements about climate change
His statements about taking back our democracy
The chant of "Run Al, Run"

...or all of the above?

[Pachamama]

8. The entire room of about 500 chanted it....I was standing with Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne and

they were shouting it too.....

It was wonderful!!! :applause:

[Virginia Dare]

10. OT, but are they a couple?

I'm a big fan of both, and I thought I heard they were, if so, that's great. Two old friends finding love and companionship with each other after all these years.

[Pachamama]

16. Could be....they definitely have a warm and affectionate friendship and care for one another

And they play beautifully together..... :hug:

[xiamiam]

12. everyone chanted...and it was after the take back our democracy statement...nt

[Pachamama]

7. Did you see me with the Pachababies??? We were seated next to the stage right behind Boxer & Bonnie

Raitt and Jackson Browne!!! I had my two girls with me and they got to meet Al!

:bounce:

[xiamiam]

9. I dont kow...but I did meet a lady in the ladies room whose two daughters were there...

I didnt see many children...this is gonna sound silly, but were you..pachamama wearing a bindi? if so, I met you in the ladies room...

[Pachamama]

13. No, the Pachababies never went in the ladies room (too excited) to leave the area

We were sitting Stage Left in the reserved seating where Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt and Boxer etc. all sat when they weren't onstage. It's was wonderful...afterwards, the girls got to see Al Gore and he signed my daughters poster.

I was wearing a beige Burberry quilted jacket and am blonde...so are the Pachababies - no Bindi! :hi:

[xiamiam]

14. im glad you were there...we drove from santa cruz...i thought it was an electrifying experience...

you are lucky to have met him...how did you do that?...next time, and there will be a next time, because if he throws his hat in...i will be working 24/7 to make sure he wins...so we'll probably meet at some point...anyway, its nice to kind of meet you...my friend and i are also a couple of baby booming blondes...wonderful that your children were there...just wonderful..

11. Interesting trivie fact is that Boxer's daughter used

to be married to Hillary's brother, Tony.

[Virginia Dare]

17. That's right, they had a White House wedding..
