Yesterday was spent getting on and off the plane going to various gaggles and rallies in St. Louis and Chicago. Going from L.A. weather to Chicago weather has been very confusing for my wardrobe... We're traveling with so many press that I haven't been able to introduce myself to everyone. It's a big change from when I used to know the life story of everyone who was with us when this traveling circus was incredibly smaller. I'm still getting used to all of the changes.
Song of the day: Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again"
Getting screened before getting on the plane this morning
Backstage at the rally in St. Louis
I love rallys at airport hangers, the acoustics are always amazing
Photogs keeping it real

We arrived yesterday in Los Angeles to warm weather and In-N-Out Burger. Loving the weather and the West Coast vibe. Check out pics below from Dad's appearance on Jay Leno and a cool party hosted by MGM CEO Harry Sloan for Dad. We're off on this totally crazy tour to all of the February 5th states (I've seen the schedule and it's out of control).

Thank you, Florida; thank you, supporters; thank you, friends (most especially my partners in crime, Heather and Shannon, I love you guys); thank you, family. Thank you for the blessing that is this experience.
The feeling of winning Florida (as I have said before) can be best described in the song "Break on Through" by The Doors. That's what the momentum and excitement felt like last night, and still feels like today. Hang on tight, this ride is nowhere near over.
Watching the polls come in
Charlie and Rick talking in the hall
I get very nervous on primary nights and tried to relax out in the hall
Judy Black, Shannon, Brooke and I chilling in the hall
Hanging out in the hotel room
It was originally too close to call...

Waiting for the AP to call it
Check out our new hats!
WE WON!
It felt like an out of body experience
Yeah!

Working the crowd
It was crazy

Check out our new jackets (which I have totally been wearing)
