I guess since the election is over, it's about time I posted pictures from the time I spent on the campaign trail. Have I mentioned it was a great year to move back to Indiana? Hopefully it's not another 40 years before we matter again. Here we go, in no particular order:

Me with Chelsea Clinton in Indianapolis. I was struck by how much she resembles her mother.
Me with Joe Biden in Zanesville, Ohio. A pretty sizeable road trip to meet Biden. Well worth it.

Me with Obama's "body man," Reggie Love, at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Reggie helped me get a lot of things autographed, so thanks to him.

RIP Tim.

The only people I recognized were you and Tim Russert... oh and John Mellencamp-but I liked him better when he was John Cougar Mellencamp.
Anyway... you look great!
I look like a fat chipmunk, but that's beside the point. I know, I know -- they're all Democrats. (I would have been in a picture with John McCain had he chosen to come on a different day than my trip to see Joe Biden.)
Put the left and right, conservative and liberal politics aside and it was just a pretty cool year to live in Indiana. (Whoa, did I just say that?)
have you been drinking with Martha again?
There I was feelin' the bipartisan love, June, and ya had to go and burst my bubble! :)
