I'm gonna go meet Barack Obama today. Ask me anything!

[SteppingRazor]

He's speaking in Miami, and I've got press credentials all lined up. :)

1. Oooooh.

Press credentials.

Uh, are ya gonna take any pictures?

[SteppingRazor]

2. Of course!

If I manage to get any good ones, I'll post'em here.

At these sort of whistle sstops, though, press creds don't get you much. I doubt the candidate will have much time to answer questions and whatnot -- I believe he's going to be in New Orleans tomorrow morning.

3. Will you get to, like, shake his hand n' stuff?

Or, will you have to maintain a cool air of professional neutrality?

[SteppingRazor]

4. I'm not really sure. But as far as I'm concerned...

if I don't just shake his hand, but also get a picture of me shaking his hand, the whole thing is a colossal failure. :P

5. have fun

I was a working reporter when Hillary Clinton was running for Senate in New York. I saw her at an event on Long Island. There were, maybe, 100 people there. I had a camera with me and I go close enough to her to take some really excellent photos.

It's times like these, campaign time, that I miss being a journalist.
