Cillaliz, I think that is so cool that your are getting to meet and great and see the candidates. If you think about it that is a rather historic thing to see all of these people...I am always in awe that JFK's car almost hit my mom's station wagon back in the the day when he was visiting Medford.
Despite almost being plowed into, my mom still voted for him.
I myself have never seen a president or a candidate in the flesh.
