That's my daughter. This pix appeared in today's edition of the Las Vegas Review Journal:

[sniffa]

3. awwww - what a babe!

2 words: aaaaaaaaaaaa dorabLe. :D

[Kahuna]

5. Your daughter is gorgeous!

You must be very proud. :D

[stopbush]

7. Yep. I'm proud. I love her to death. My son was there too, but

he was right up at the rope about 6 feet from Kerry. Besides, I can't put him on my shoulders anymore (he's 11).

They LOVED the rally. When we got home, my daughter told me "I'm a Democrat and so are you, daddy." Plus, we both got to shake Kerry's hand at the end of the rally. See my report from last night here:

8. kick for the adorable pix

[in_cog_ni_to]

9. She's beautiful!

She's the future of our party! It's important to take our kids to these things. Give them the passion for politics. Great Picture!

[stopbush]

10. She was quite taken with Vanessa Kerry.

"She has blond hair like me, daddy!"

[janx]

36. Ah, but--

Your daughter's greatest physical asset is not her hair, which will probably grow a bit darker in time, the way most natural blondes' hair does...

It is her EYES! She seems to have wisdom, even at that young age. She will have those beautiful eyes for her whole life.

[stopbush]

37. Thank you for the kind thoughts...everybody on DU. It's really

heartwarming.

BTW - my daughter can be a real pistol. She abides NO BS at all.

She does great in school. I had the usual scheduled conference with her teacher halfway through last year, and I asked her what my daughter's biggest impediment was to accomplishing her classwork. Her answer: sometimes she doesn't get her work done on time because she sees other kids who are having more trouble than her, so she goes and helps them before finishing her own work.

Yeah..she sounds like a Dem.

[blm]

40. That was my impression, as well. Very thoughtful and serious-minded

with a great sense of purpose and calm.

Outstanding traits in any individual....amazing from one so young.

11. adorable...

i think its great...I am constantly pointing out who John Kerry is to my 3 year old..she knows who he is now...and knows GWB is bad news...she plugs her nose when she sees him...

[rumguy]

12. what a great picture!

[ronnykmarshall]

13. She's adorable!

How is she taking her new "fame"?

[stopbush]

20. She called a few friends right away. She's not too taken with

herself. She thought it was cool but she's not obsessing. I'm the one obsessing.

[ronnykmarshall]

23. How many copies of the paper did you get?

[stopbush]

24. Just one. I downloaded the pix from the internet. I'll keep

the hardcopy somewhere safe in the house.

[beyurslf]

14. Democrats in training! YEAH!

[maynard]

16. cutie!

She looks like a smart kid who works hard in school. I want her in my class. Do you live in Henderson?

[stopbush]

19. We live in Summerlin. She goes to Lummis Elem.

But I'm interviewing for a position with a company down on Amigo off Warm Springs. If that comes through, we may move to Henderson to be closer for commuting (my brother-in-law lived in Henderson until he moved back to CA).

[flpoljunkie]

15. How exciting for you and your family! Your daughter has beautiful eyes.

She looks serious and smart, too--a Dem in the making! Thanks for posting.

[Richardo]

17. You are rightly proud - what a great pic!

Kudos to you - you're bringing up a wonderful family... :thumbsup:

[Lerkfish]

18. wonderful! that's progress...

when I lived in vegas two decades ago, that paper was purely republican in its slant. I'm glad they're covering Kerry rallies.

oh, and very cute kid!

[BayouBengal07]

21. I got in the New York Times

I'm the one next to the lady in blue covering my face when clapping (of course the guy had to snap it right then).

[Cha]

33. Pretty good getting in the NYT, though..

I'm glad a few had Kerry signs so we could see what ya'll were doin' there.

[Window]

22. Oh my! She's precious!

[WI_DEM]

25. Great picture

I read your post last night so I was wondering if she got her picture in the paper.

[cally]

26. Congrats

She seems very serious! I think you need to buy many copies of the paper. Many newspapers will sell the original copies of their pictures for a small price. It would be great to have an 8 x 10 of that on your wall.

[Tansy_Gold]

27. Can I put her in my screen saver album of great campaign pix?

She's gorgeous!


Tansy Gold, who was just in Vegas a couple weeks ago

[stopbush]

28. Of course. In fact, I wish the Kerry campaign would pick up

her pix and use it in their efforts. It's the property of the local photographer, so I assume there would be a fee involved.

[Cha]

34. I think they should, too. Because her picture says it

ALL! For the future we need a Stronger America!

[rumguy]

39. The Kerry campaign should use the pic

[blondeatlast]

29. Hey, I have a 7yo son with the same political leanings...

maybe they should meet up in 20 years or so!

She's a cutie--my son loved the Flagstaff rally!

[Eurobabe]

30. that's a great photo!!

[Justice]

31. She Looks Determined - And Beautiful

Buy several copies and save them for her grandchildren!

[Cha]

32. Is she Darling or what?

You must be so proud! I know I am and I don't even know you all.

I love that sign..I have a Kerry/Edwards pin that says.."A Stronger America", too.

[latebloomer]

35. Wow!!

What a beautiful child!

[Catherine Vincent]

38. Aw, that is fantastic. What a cute young Democrat!

I'm sure you'll frame that poster.

[dennis4868]

41. Thats awesome!

:toast:

[ScreamingMeemie]

42. Beautiful child!

What a face! :hi:

[DaveSZ]

43. Cute kid!

You should be proud (not even because she's holding a Democratic sign).
