I was so close to Bill Clinton last night that he practically fell on top of me


I was at a Miami rally for Jim Davis, democratic candidate for Florida governor. Former Florida Governor Bob Graham was present as well. I managed to fight my way towards the stage and grab some decent shots. The one below of Clinton and Graham is my favorite shot.














It looks like someone just handed Clinton her phone number.












{b}Bill Clinton and Bob Graham


Jim Davis shaking hands.



Jim Davis and running mate Daryl Jones.

2. Cool! I still have yet to meet the Big D. My daughter met him at G'town
she and her friend were hosts for a symposium, at which he spoke. She says he has soft hands, is very tall and extremely charming.

I almost got to see him at Valley Forge Military Academy in Oct. when he was there for Sestak, but found out too late for reserved spot.

Lucky you! -48

3. These are great, Raging.
It's nice to see a president who doesn't look like a chimpanzee. :)

6. Been way too long since your work was posted here
These were a treat. The one of Davis shaking hands should be front and center on the candidate's website.
:applause:

9. Most excellent, Raging!
I wish I was in Miami so I could meet up with you and touch your sleeve! :) Really love that second shot. I could have shot from that angle all night, with them clapping all night, and I'd never have been so fortunate to get a shot of Clinton's face framed by Graham's hands--and have Graham's face still visible, too. Beautiful!

Good to see you again, amigo! :hug:

10. Very cool.
I was actually thinking about you. I was going to post a thread in the lounge asking if anyone heard from you. I missed my ADD DU buddy.
