I met Rudy during his last run. I also met Rubio, and I can say I know Congressman West now, as I met him 4-5 times. I was invited in February to meet Gingrich at the Lincoln Day Dinner. $200 was worth it though.

I saw Senator Thune at a rally with Keystone Phil and Nixon Now in Iowa in 2008. I shook John McCain's hand and told him I was going into the Military. He got a real serious look on his face and said, "Good, my friend, good."

After that, I snapped this picture of him.


I shook Mike Huckabee's hand the following night at his Iowa Victory rally. He had a shiny gold watch on and has giant hands.



John McCain seems friendlier then the media says, at least to the general public. Ofcourse, he can be differant to his staff, I heard.

Not a 2012 candidate, but I did more than just meet someone who unsuccessfully ran for the Green Party nomination.

Did you have sex with Kat Swift?

She was the only "attractive" (mild) 08 candidate....lets hope for some hot candidates in the future!

I think I met Rudy Giuliuani twice. The first when I was 12, and my Grandma took me to see him in 08. But last year, I saw him at a Rubio rally, stood right behind him, and went to shake his hand again as he left, a onslaught of elderly people overcame me. When Rubio arrived at the rally, I was the only one to greet him, because a onslaught of elderly people again rushed to Rudy. So I was lucky to have a 30 second conversation with Rubio. He is very short, I was 14 last November, and I was taller then him.

I met Ken Kuchinelli, and took a picture with him. I can see him being a 2016 candidate. Ofcourse, there is Allen West, and Marco Rubio. Next on the list-Ron Paul. Too bad its another year to the Florida Primary.

I saw Bush Jr's motorcade when I was 4, I can know recall. One of my best friends met Bush Sr when he was 4 or 5. His dad is on the Police Force, and Bush Sr. was in town, visiting the Tennis Center, so they went, took a picture with him, and talked with him for a bit.

My Great Aunt sat next to LBJ at the Dept of Agriculture (she was Miss Agriculture), and met Richard Nixon, Robert Byrd, and Jennings Randolph as a result. My Grandma saw Ronald Reagan in 1976. My Uncle saw Obamas motorcade at Robert Byrd's funeral. Hillary Clinton held a rally a few blocks from my school.

Oh yeah, my Uncle also met A. James Manchin. He found him passed out drunk in a field. He described him as a "flamer".

I shook Mike Huckabee's hand at a book signing in 2009. Good man. I also saw Donald Trump at a Tea Party rally if he counts.
I saw Donald Trump in Boca..I left 2 hours before he took the stage, it was too hot, and the worlds most annoying radio host hogged the mic. I was there to see Allen West anyway.
