I’ve never been to a rally, but I got real close to Al Gore at the Race for the Cure once. I was actually amazed at how little security he seemed to have. Of course, there were probably Secret Service people that I was unaware of among the other runners.

I went to college in Iowa during the 1988 election, so during the run-up to the Iowa Caucuses, all the candidates visited campus. For my intro to journalism class, I covered rallies for George Bush (Senior) and Bob Dole. It was totally random that I ended up at two Republican rallies.

My (now) husband opened a door for Michael Dukakis at the student union. He was so proud of himself for recognizing the man and relayed his exact conversation as this: Husband opens the door and says “Here you go Governor.” Governor walks through ans says “Thank you, son.” Very mundane now, but very exciting at the time.

Whether I support Hillary Clinton or not, I would’ve liked to attend. I think it would be something to hear what she had to say about our community.

Kris, that is too cute!

We attended a rally for President Bush when my son was very young. He had a blast waving his “outdoorsmen for Bush” sign. It is a very interesting experience to be able to go and see these people in person!

I would have passed on that particular rally as well. Too be honest though I’ve never had a chance to attend one.

I was at a Bush speech in the 90’s at Penn State
We had both Hillary and Obama here this week. But I passed on both.

I was at a rally for Bill Clinton at Michigan State when I was there. It was pretty interesting.

I have never been to a presidential rally since I hate huge crowds and can watch them on the news. However I did interview Sen. Phil Gramm of Texas in 1995 when he was running for President. He had made it far enough along in the race to receive Secret Service protection, so it was quite an experience seeing and dealing with that.
Congratulations to Mark for getting chance to be a part of such an important event!
