3. Is that a Nat Nast shirt? I collect them and I don't have that one.

Is one of those women you, 'sister?

4. #2 episode, last season (and repeated at least once because I

remembered the shirt), and yes, one of them is me. But I'm not telling. :D

5. Say hello to Obama if you see him around your state.

7. Did you write about your experience? What a lovely picture

[NewHampster]

13. Yes I did

I met Hillary and Bill

Well at least I shook hands and had my picture taken with the two of them last Friday after the rally in Manchester. Other than the fact that I was thrilled to meet two people I
highly admire, I was totally awed by the gift we have living in New Hampshire. The primary gives us the ability to meet any and all future presidents or as Senator Clinton said, "...the New Hampshire primary is the Consumers Union for Presidential candidates...". We grill 'em, kick the tires and put them through the ringer of real questions from real people then we report our findings to the rest of the country.

All voters in this state should make an effort to meet the
candidates. Democratic, Republican and Independent.
Don't leave it all to political junkies like me. Stop saying it's too early. For good or bad, the primary is well under way and it is your duty as Americans too inspect them all and make sure the general election gets the two best candidates.

As long as America trusts us with this task we owe them our
best effort in return.

19. Do you wanna date?

Sheesh... no. He's not going to buy you a beer. Give it a rest, Mr. Perfect.

11. That's a great picture!

I'd use it for my Christmas card. :)

14. I don't like the Clintons' policies, not a one of them. But they sure must

be great to talk to. :) That's a really nice picture, NH! :hi:

15. Congrats New Hampster

I remember the days in 2004 when you were a fellow Dean supporter. And the Red Sox avatar helps.

While I don't support your candidate this time around, that is a lovely picture and a great opportunity you had. One of my fondest political moments was having a similar chance to meet Howard Dean during the 2004 cycle.

Good luck, and it's great to see you back on DU.

:hi:

18. Thanks for the kind words

My picture with Howard graces my refrigerator.

17. that is a fabulous picture!

you are right about NH. Nothing better than retail politics.

21. I'm totally and completely jealous. What a great pic!

I've met Bill a couple of times, but the one time I tried to take a picture with him, it didn't turn out. And I've never met Hillary, although I've seen her speak. You're so lucky to have met them both - and at the same time! I'm so jealous of you folks who live in NH and truly get to see the candidates up close and personal!
