Yeah America!

Quayle, Gore, Mondale, Carter, Bush 41, Clinton. 

It really is just awesome to see everyone on that platform.  And not awesome in the "wicked awesome," Red Sox fan sense of the word.  But literally awesome, as in "awe inspiring."

Clinton and Bush walking arm-in-arm.

Yeah America!!!!!!

And how great is George H.W. Bush’s purple scarf?

Speaking of scarfs. Craig Robinson is wearing black and orange scarf not so much for his college (Princeton), but for his current employer (Oregon State).
Both schools are black and orange, so i can see the mistake that Charlie Gibson might make.

Someone tell Charlie Gibson that Michelle Obamas brothers scarf, that is black and orange, is for the Oregon State Beavers basketball team, not Princeton.

Like the crowd shots.
Is there a count on how many people are there in DC?
Is this the largest crowd at an event in US history?
