Obama Rally in L.A Attracts Thousands
This seems to be becoming a bit of a pattern - over seven thousand people turned up to hear Barack Obama speak yesterday at a rally in Los Angeles.
Obama spoke about the key issues that he has focused on in previous speeches - education, health care and the Iraq war. But he also touched on the sense that African American communities had been left behind by the Bush Administration.
He will be heading to Des Moines, Iowa this afternoon for a Town Hall Meeting.
Other Democratic candidates will today be in Carson City, Nevada for a forum. Obama has said that he had a prior commitment to be in Iowa, but will be returning to Nevada to campaign again.

The fundraiser last night organized by Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg for Barack Obama brought in over $1.3 million for his campaign for the Democratic nomination.

Last night, over 600 people attended the function for Obama, and guests included George Clooney, Eddie Murphy and Jennifer Aniston.
Obama in San Francisco for Boxer
Barack Obama was in San Francisco last night, as the keynote speaker at a fundraiser for California Senator, Barbara Boxer.

Obama Hits Back at Ford - Yes We Can
Barack Obama yesterday responded to South Carolina State Senator Robert Ford, who said on Thursday that if Obama was the nominee, the Democrats would lose the House, the Senate and the Governors, simply because he is black.
Obama yesterday said that at every turn in America's history there has been someone who said that we cant do something. He said that "Some people said we can't do this, we can't do that, so we shouldn't even try. If I have your support, if I have your energy and involvement and commitment and ideas, then I'm here to tell you, Yes we can."
Ford helped to mobilize the black vote in South Carolina in 2004 for John Edwards, but last week said this time he would be endorsing Hillary Clinton. He thinks that Clinton is the only candidate who can win the Presidency.
