(Cross-posted from The Courage Campaign also at dailyKos) As part of our Presidential Candidate ATM Watch series, I decided to try to follow Hillary Clinton while she was here in Los Angeles on Saturday. It was her first trip to our neck of the woods since announcing her candidacy for president and I figured what better way to track her than to go where she goes and capture whatever public appearances she makes on video. Will she actually address California's issues with California's voters? I had to find out.
I started out with very little to go on. All I knew were 2 vague pieces of information: 1. she was scheduled to appear at a "public event" with Mayor Villaraigosa in Los Angeles and 2. she would be attending a fundraiser in Laguna Beach at 11:45am. A google search gave me nothing. So I asked around. One of the tips I received was that Mayor Villaraigosa was going to be appearing at L.A. City Hall that morning to kick off Keep America Beautiful, a nationwide urban beautification project, as well as that of our local permutation Keep Los Angeles Beautiful. The event was to begin at 8am and while I had no confirmation that Hillary would attend, it seemed up her alley so I decided to operate under the assumption that she would be there. So, I borrowed a video camera and set my alarm for 7am. Follow me over the flip...
