It's like the Oscars, less the writers, the movies, the pageantry, the actors, the actresses, the directors, John Williams... ok, it's nothing like the Oscars. But the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood is a hell of a place to hold the final primary debate of the cycle.
Security is tight as a tick. Closed-off roads, FBI explosives experts, members of the Secret Service Uniformed Divisions, an LAPD airship, Dozens of armed guards and a platoon of police officers.
Thousands of cheering Obama supporters are packed on the sidewalk between Hollywood Boulevard and the theatre complex. CNN has set up giant screens outside so the fans can watch. Clinton supporters are outnumbered.

It's good the Obama folks managed to win the sign wars outside and hopefully they will have done as well inside the Kodak as well: it's going to be the first look for a lot of Feb. 5th voters and the pressure is definitely on Obama to perform well. I think this is a must-win moment. Hopefully, he'll make the grade.
