365.132 ("This is our moment for us to seize our own destiny.")

I love this couple snuggling as they listen to Obama. Illustrates the great vibe that must be in the air at his events.

Scout had an extra press pass, and (very) generously, gave it to me for the Barack Obama Albuquerque rally. It was an absolutely surreal, incredible experience, to be up at the front of a crowd of 35,000+ people, able to move around and soak it all in and take pictures. Just a truly amazing night that I will never forget - thank you Scout!!

Seeing Barack Obama speak in person was incredible - such palpable energy and grace. I swear we made eye contact! ;) He responded to the crowd, was funny, spoke about a wide range of issues - we will be so lucky to have him as the next President of the United States!

I am so sad that I missed the opportunity to hear him speak here in Austin this summer. Can you just imagine? A president who is (among many other things...) eloquent, intelligent and inspirational?

Totally jealous. No Obama rallies in NYC as we're already "in the tank." Great shot. Go Obama!
