Special thanks to Suzanne!

I just want to take a moment to thank Suzanne from Chicago for her generous contribution! Thank you Suzanne, this really helps in a big way! It gets expensive out here on the campaign trail, and contributions like yours really take off the pressure!
Also,thank you John West, you rock, John!
And of-course.... thanks to all of you, always!
Love, Gretchen

Kentucky

We got to our supporter housing late lat night after what felt like forever driving down dirt roads. We woke up to this!



We are on a real Kentucky-style horse farm. But my question is, where are the horses, and where is Hillary?

More on my favorite photogs...

These folks follow HIllary everywhere and that's a tall order! How anyone can keep up with Hillary still baffles me!











Meet the lady who made the cool Hillcar video!

Here she is, "Mariandelochs" ( her alias!) I love the video she made, so I've reposted it below!



Commercial break!

Yes, John Denver was right, West Virginia is almost heaven!

Landslide!

We won by a landslide here in West Virginia! Hurray for Hillary! We are going to go out and celebrate, and I hope you are doing the same!


Today I met Terry Mcauliffe , Hillary's senior advisor!






His friend is the guy who is in charge of hillaryclinton.com They said they would post some of these photos tomorrow. Let's check that out!
Well, we must find food and drink now. Love to you all! We are heading off to Kentucky tomorrow! Go Hillary!

We're counting on you, West Virginia!




Today is the big day here in West Virginia! Tonight Hillary will be giving her Victory speech at the Charleston civic center, and we plan on being there to see her win big!
This afternoon is about "visibility", driving around and honking, standing on the side of the road and waving, wearing Hillary masks... that kind of thing!
Not much news at the moment, it's all being saved for tonight!

Some of the great people we've met in the past 12 hours!

This is Dotty, she is housing us. She's a total sweetheart! She made us a wonderful breakfast this morning, then she went on to make a big pot of her famous vegetable soup for the volunteers at Hillary Headquarters! Dotty is the best, we are very fortunate!





This is Larry Hicks. He is made first other real Hillary art car I've seen! He has traveled 19 states for Hillary! This morning, while driving though downtown Charleston, he was shot at 3 times. 3 bullets went through his vehicle right behind his head. He literally almost had a heart attack. Though he was outwardly very stoic and sweet, he was upset that the media had no interest in covering this story. He was really shaken up. I can't imagine what kind of sick person would want to harm such a kind man!





This is the Sherrif of Fairmont, west Virginia. He liked him, he was very nice to us!



This is Michael. He di not make a good first impression, to say the least. He began by saying some extremely rude things about Hillary, and about us. Afterwards, I saw him again in the restaurant, and I said that I thought he needed to work on his manners, and that he owed me an appology.
He agreed, and appologized. He then appologized to Suzanne, and sat down with us at our table. We soon decided that Michael was alright, and he even helped us get some press ( CBS< Washington, I think it was). So Hillary is right when she says she believes in giving people a second chance! we ended up having a pretty good conversation about Hillary!




... and lastely, our friends from the Daily show. I think they are a lot of fun!


Until tomorrow, have Hillary dreams!

Meet Suzanne!

This is Suzanne, my new traveling Hillcar partner! we plan to "do" West Virginia, then go to Kentucky together! Yet another great traveling mate, lucky me!



I got a call from the Daily show this morning, they want to film some more Hillcar footage tonight at the Faimont rally. We are about 20 minutes from Fairmont right now. I don't know if they will air Hillcar stuff tonight, I'm guessing tomorrow night.
It's another rainy day in W.V. We hear it is going to be sunny tomorrow though!
Let's hope for sunshine, roses and a great big win for Hillary tomorrow! Come on West Virginia!
