Has anyone met any of the canidates?

I met Dr. Dean on Thursday of course, and I had my picture taken with Carol Moseley Braun...but I wondered if anyone else has met them.

1. Yes

I met Kucinich on Tuesday, great guy he is, and I got his autograph. I felt like a teenage girl and or like I was meeting like RFK or FDR.

3. I felt like that when I ran up to Dr. Dean to offer him a towel.

(I live in Tempe, and it was rather warm on Thursday so we wanted to give Dr. Dean a towel in case he was sweating before the speech.) I had to touch him! oooh....

8. Dr. Dean has an average one...Trippi on the other hand.

He was actually funny...came up to me and said "Hi I'm Joe Trippi" and I said "Yeah, I met you last month" Then he just looked at me.

11. The Ambassador is pretty short but she is still the only

canidate I have had my picture taken with on purpose. I usually wind up in Dr. Dean's pictures by accident.

15. Well to my knowledge

Dean is 5'8
Kucinich is 5'7
Clark is 5'9
Gephardt is 6'0
Edwards I bet is 5'11
and the others I have no idea.
Well Kerry is 6'4.
I think the reason why people assume Kucinich is small is because he isnt that big like in weight.

17. Met Kerry

I shook Kerry's hand at a speech. My husband did also and spoke with him. We were in hand shaking line and my hubby leans over and asks a question. We were surprised that he stopped listened. He asked "Aren't you daunted by all the work you are gonna have to (campaign and fixing Bush's crap)?" Kerry leaned in and looked him right in the eye and said "We are going to do." Corny, but we thought it was very cool.

:freak:

22. my family "nucleas" met KUCINICH

maybe that was "ae" not "ea"....

anyway, the man is a politician.... but, he did take time and come and meet me and my family before venturing in and giving his right-o in nm for his bid as democrat presidential candidate...

he took time out to meet me and my family, when no one was around... he shook our hands, and said,

"congressman dennis kucinich, i am running for president."

"i know" i said, as i held a sign (true patriots oppose bush)

he shook hands with my girlfriend and our 3 year old son went for a run, away from dennis and the scene... we chased after him and dennis disappeared...
