During the week before the NY primary, he made a last minute stop at a community center in my very own housing complex. I realized it while looking through the campaign's photo site. ("Hmmm. I think I know that building.&quot It would have been nice to have seen him.

with Gabby and Mark AND Dolores Huerta. They were all fantastic, but there's no one as captivating as Pres. Clinton! He laid out incredible detail about Hillary's proposals and exactly how she plans to make them happen and how to pay for them. He had so many facts and figures (all without notes) and SPECIFICS, it was incredible! I wish I had recorded it.

Enjoy!!

....including mine.

I remember how exciting it was back in 1992 when he was elected (shook his hand at a rally back then, too!), good to have a chance to do it again 24 years later.

He had a few prepared remarks but most of it was free-form. He is an incredible intellect. Have a great time!

ETA: Ooops! I see you already went and DID have a great time.
