Pics from Hill's Tampa rally on Friday!

[mcar]

What a blast Native and I had! I'm hoarse today from all the shouting. The rally was so well run, absolutely packed and was full of positive energy.

It was a pleasure to be around so many Democrats - lots of young adults, many of them working as volunteers and leading us in chants and cheers.

Local and state Dem officials spoke, including Tampa Rep. Castor, Tampa's mayor, DWS and Sen. Bill Nelson. All were upbeat and enthusiastic.

HRC herself was amazing. She spoke for about 30 minutes with nothing but notes on the podium (and she barely referred to them). It was all new stuff, too. She was warm, funny, polished and looked fab!

It was so much fun! It was all worth the aching back I have today.

Let's hope I get this picture thing right.

6. So cool!

There is nothing like being there with real people, and personal photos put us right in the crowd, right up in the action!

Great photos!

Thank you, Mcar and Native! What a great day!

7. It's pretty exciting now that the race is finally starting!

10. And they had beer and wine! Gotta love Tampa for that!!!

Our state rep, Janet Cruz also spoke and did a wonderful job.

I think the energy in the room was the best aspect of the rally for me. It was so palpable, and the rapport between Hillary and the audience was amazing. We fed off of her energy and she off ours. Totally connected.

And if you haven't seen her in person, KNOW THAT SHE LOOKS 20 POUNDS THINNER THAN SHE DOES ON CAMERA. She looks absolutely fabulous!

11. She really does

She is quite charming as well.
