I just talked to John Kerry!

Kerry is in our town for an Obama campaign rally today. I just happened to be walking down the sidewalk as the van pulled up to drop him off. I extendied my hand to welcome him and got to chat for a minute or two before he was swept off to a presser. Made my day.

1. That's exciting

Always nice to come face to face with a Senator.

2. Especially when it is completely unexpected.

Total serendipity that I happended to be there at that time.

3. That's a really great thing to have happen. I'd have trouble saying

anything that made sense.

5. yeah, after I said 'Welcome, Senator" I wasn't really expecting him to turn around to chat

When he did I mumbled something stupid about not seeing him since 2004 (as if he would've remembered me from a crowd of thousands :eyes:), thanks for supporting Obama, and "enjoy your visit."

[blm]

6. I'd say - Make sure President Obama lets you open the books on BCCI then we'll REALLY stop terrorism

and expose the powerful thugs who've been funding them for decades.

4. K & R!

Never met politicians face to face (Saw Jesse Jackson back in 88 and Lieberman :puke: back in '00 (and people thought he was cooler than Gore :grr:).

Thanks for sharing that. :hi:

7. That's cool, thanks for sharing!

I was very excited to meet Howard Dean, one of my favorite political figures, a couple of weeks ago. Election season is a very vibrant and exciting time indeed!
