How exciting! The Governator was here in our small town twice -- once when he was campaigning for Gray Davis' office after he was impeached, and once more to assess the damage from the Cedar Fire three years ago. Both times I missed him! Didn't even know he was here until after the fact. :(
Cool! I wouldn't try to go anywhere today - traffic will be awful. I remember when a Presidental motorcade came through our town a few years ago. They had the Interstate and all the bridges and exit ramps blocked off for many, many hours before! It was interesting to see all that went into making his travels safe.
Dh's cousin-in-law's brother is a pilot for Air Force 1 and the cousin-in-law rarely knows where her brother is. She's been a given a special phone number to use in case of extreme emergency. When he was home on vacation last year, he talked to some of the high school kids about working for the Secret Service, piloting, the Air Force, etc. Evidently his nieces popularity ratings jumped significantly after that!
I heard that on the news this morning, and the 1st person I thought of was your dh!! I'm sorry he won't get to hear him. Regardless of one's political persuasion (sp?), it would still be cool to see the President.

Maybe your dh will at least get a glimpse ...
