[Hamlette]

22. this is my all time favorite Obama pic.

it has part to do with the fact that I'm completely crazy about kids but the other part is that it shows he is too.

Takes one to know one.

Trust me on this.

[grannylib]

15. Awesome pix, thanks so much for sharing!

My daughter was at the victory rally in St. Paul the other night; she was able to get into the arena, and she said it was the best night ever. I can't wait until she sends some pix of that!

This is awesome. I think if he is able to continue to travel around the country and really let people get the chance to feel they know him, or something real about him, he'll win over tons of additional voters.

[flpoljunkie]

17. Thanks. Have added another one I posted earlier today on a post of someone who was at the rally.

[grannylib]

23. I love that! Now the post about him "whuppin'" somebody with

Q- What does he see?

A - The future.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

28. wow - just great. I don't know - Webb's not the most photogenic

is he. looks wooden. looks pale as a ghost - get some sun Jim !

[Thrill]

29. Kaine has been with him from the very beginning. He may get the VP

I think Warner is more popular there though

Great minds... ;)

[Barack_America]

30. I just found a picture of our next President and Vice President!

Now tell me that doesn't look good! ;)

[flpoljunkie]

33. Kaine is Harvard grad, taught ethics for 6 years at University of Richmond law, and is Catholic.

I would expect Kaine to be on the "short list."

[Rose Siding]

34. I was moved by the second to last photograph

The tears in that woman's eyes were very evocative.
