Here's another offering in our ongoing photo series of local politicians posing with national politicians.

This one shows Huntington Beach Mayor and Congress hopeful Debbie Cook posing with presidential nominee Barack Obama.
Cook, a Democrat, is vying against Republican incumbent Rep. Dana Rohrabacher for the 46th Congressional District, which runs from the Palos Verdes Peninsula to north Orange County.
With registered Republicans outnumbering Democrats by 50,000 in that district, Rohrabacher is favored to win, despite being out-fundraised by Cook two quarters in a row.
But Cook is smiling anyway!
If you're a local politician with a picture of you alongside a presidential or vice-presidential candidate, keep 'em coming!

As a matter of fact, this race, according to an internal GOP poll is a statistical dead heat.
That's why Debbie is smiling!
