(Danville, California)

I could not be prouder of my daughter, Alexandra Curtis, who delivered one of three student commencement addresses at Monte Vista High School's 2010 graduation in Danville, California on Friday June 11, 2010.

Many of you know of Alexandra's travels with me during campaign 2008. It was those journeys-- and other factors-- which have now led her to study broadcast journalism and political science at Syracuse University beginning in the fall of 2010.

Her graduation speech was entitled, "Excellence is a Habit!" Her parents, grandparents, brother, cousins, aunts, uncles, extended family and friends are so very proud of what this young lady has accomplished in her first 18 years.

Just listen to her speech and see if you aren't impressed and inspired, too!

God bless you Allie, and all the graduates of 2010. Great opportunities are ahead of you!

Hi folks! I am back on the West Coast this week. Tonight at 7 p.m. PDT (10 p.m. EDT). I will be on KGO Radio 810-AM with host Brian Copeland. You can listen in "live" around the world at http://www.KGOradio.com.

We will talk about yesterday's amazing political races all across the country: Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina in California, Blanche Lincoln in Arkansas, Nikki Haley in South Carolina and Sharon Angle in Nevada. Geez, are there any men left in politics? Women-- in both parties-- have really come a long way!
