Remarks at a California Democratic Party and Coordinated Campaign 
Reception in Los Angeles
November 2, 2000

    That's the shortest speech by a politician on record. [Laughter] 
Thank you, and thank you, Governor. I'm looking forward to this little 
meeting today, but I want to thank you for the work you're doing for the 
Coordinated Campaign. I'm delighted to be here. We've got five 
congressional seats here we've got to try to win. And we've got to 
reelect Senator Feinstein and carry 
California for Al Gore and Joe 
Lieberman. So we know what we have to 
do.
    And I can tell you, I've been around the country now--I've done like 
160 events, maybe more, this year. I just got back from Louisville. And 
if people understand what the issues are and what the differences are 
and what the consequences are, we'll win. This is not complicated. So I 
hope I can help you in the next 2 days.
    The only other thing I would say is, all the surveys show that 
basically this election could turn on whether our voters want to go vote 
as much as their voters do. And what motivates them is knowing what's at 
stake. So I'll do what I can to help you do that, and then when I leave, 
I know you'll bring them to victory.
    Thank you very much.

Note: The President spoke at 2:35 p.m. in the atrium at the Regency 
Club. In his remarks, he referred to Gov. Gray Davis of California.
