So, I'm currently in Portland, OR, for work and just found out that the President will be here!

Lucky for me! Only a few blocks down the street!

If I can finish my work, I'm going to the rally for Katzhaber (sp?).

Dudley is running some vicious ads against him, but K. is leading...

1. Give him a hug for me.

3. Will do!! It made my day when the guy who drove the shuttle that brought me to the hotel....

...couldn't stop talking about how great Obama and Katzhaber (sp?) are. K. has done a lot for this state. Portland is beautiful, and it's a gorgeous day for a rally!!

4. Well, if you DO get to give him a hug, I'm sure I'll see the pictures on the news sites.

EITHER because he accepts it and it is a precious moment, or because you're being shuffled away in handcuffs. Tough call.

2. Obama flew over my house yesterday afternoon in CA

Going to some kind of event for Barbara Boxer.

Three of the noisiest single-rotor helicopters I've ever seen. I thought a plane was crashing. :crazy:

6. Can you see Russia from there?

:sarcasm: :hi:

Sorry - Palin posts on the brain.

5. Kitzhaber, and I think you need a free ticket

Go over in the Oregon forum, I believe there's a link there. I saw him in Portland back in 2007. It was awesome! Hope you can make it.

8. Looking forward to it. Now I'm hearing about a huge anti-war protest that will greet the president.

Not necessarily what I had in mind. :(

9. Did you get to go?

I haven't heard anything about anti-war protests yet. Would be astounding if there wasn't one. It is "Little Beirut" after all.

7. Good for you! He'll also be in L.A. Friday (at USC)

Due to the large number of RSVP's, the Friday rally had to be moved to a larger venue at USC. I'm hoping to be able to be there.
