Who did you meet during the campaign?
Edited on Wed Dec-22-04 12:56 AM by Sannum
I mean, well known people while volunteering and such. I met Ted and Caroline Kennedy at a fundraiser and I also met Senator Dick Durbin ,Mayor Daley and the new Governor of IL(I am not even going to try to spell his name)

Anyone have a brush with greatness during the election?

3. Blagojevich
I say it how it sounds when I have to write it.

I met Durbin and Obama. I met Durbin previously, though, and some of the other people like the Daley and Doug Scott, the mayor of Rockford.

5. A bunch of great, hard working, every day Democrats.
Nobody "famous" but they're heroes to me! These were people that gave 20-30 hours a week to the Kerry/Edwards campaign on top of their regular jobs. Wow!

7. I wish I could tell you how much I hate Blagojevich
He got to where he is because he was willing to .... Dick Mell's daughter. Sub-par intellect, terrible lawyer, just a real jerk-off. He'll get high enough to perhaps challenge Daley, then get indicated. Folks, this is Illinois.

BTW, met tons of great union folks, and until folks decide to unionize, we'll keep getting screwed.

8. If it is any consolation,
I found him to be a total ass.:7. On the other hand, the Kennedy's could not have been more down-to-earth and sweet.
