I just met John Edwards!!!

[huskerlaw]

I volunteered at a house party in Brentwood and he was kind enough to say hi to all of the volunteers. It was a brief, but very pleasant encounter, lol.

I do have a group picture, but since I don't have permission from the other people in the group, I can't post it. Alas.

But...John Edwards touched me...*swoon* :loveya:

;)

On edit: Much thanks to Whoa_Nelly for blurring out the faces of those who didn't grant me permission to post their picture! Here ya go... (obviously, there are 2 un-blurred faces. One is mine. One is John's...I think you can tell which is which!) ;)

1. Cool!

[StarryNite]

2. Way cool!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. OMIGOD!

Post it anyway!

They won't mind.......I think!

How cool for you!

Way to go, sweetie!

:bounce: :bounce:

[huskerlaw]

4. How about

I PM it to you instead?

I'm most impressed with myself that I didn't squeal in delight. I actually kept it together...until he walked away. ;)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. PM away, sweetie!

I promise to keep it safe!

You did good, keeping it together!

I'm not sure I would have!

:bounce: :bounce:

[huskerlaw]

10. Check your PM

;)

I kept it together until he walked away. At which point, all the girls in the group turned to each other and squealed like we'd just met George Clooney.

Not one of my finer moments, but...the man is hot, not gonna lie. ;)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. Got it, thanks!

And I sent you a question....which you probably already saw!

[ghostsofgiants]

5. But did e tell you how much a random dead loved one misses you and is watching over you?

[huskerlaw]

6. Not THAT John Edwards!

:rofl:

[Whoa_Nelly]

7. WTG, huskerlaw!

Blur out the others' faces and then post it!

Or, PM me, and I will do it for you!

At any rate, you met my #1 Presidential choice! Lucky you and :woohoo:

[huskerlaw]

8. He's my #1 choice as well!

If you want to blur everyone else, I'll definitely send you the pic. I could do it, but I'm lazy, lol.

[Whoa_Nelly]

12. Check your PM

For the Husker and John and the Blurries pic ;-)

[huskerlaw]

13. Hahahahahahahaha

Thank you!!

:yourock:

[barb162]

14. He's so photogenic.

Is he good-looking in real life?

[huskerlaw]

15. He's *better* looking in real life

Hard though that may be to believe.

In real life, it goes beyond looks though. He just has *something* else...a genuineness, or something, that makes him even more attractive.

[barb162]

30. wow n/t

[Inchworm]

16. Too Cool!

:yourock:

:hi:

[StarryNite]

17. You are sooo lucky!

Edwards is kicking ass on Leno right now too! Speaking of ass, did you have to fight the urge to grab his while you were standing so close to it?

[huskerlaw]

23. Honestly...

I didn't even look at his ass!

Talk about missed opportunities! ;)

[UrbScotty]

18. That must be you in the striped tie

Kidding!

Nice of you to meet him!

[huskerlaw]

24. Damn it...

You figured it out!

;)

[Heidi]

19. w00t! He looks like he smells really, really nice.

:evilgrin:

Waytogo, gf! :thumbsup:

[huskerlaw]

25. Hahahahha...

Actually, he didn't smell at all!

:)

He is very good at looking "pretty" though, isn't he? *swoon*

[orleans]

20. MY GOD! WHAT IS WRONG WITH EVERYONE'S FACE?

EDWARDS IS STANDING WITH A CLAN OF ZOMBIES!!!

(congrats. did you get the chance to say: "so...i hear your wife is okay with gay marriage....can we expect you to open your mind up in the near future?")

[huskerlaw]

26. OMIGOD!

They looked normal in person, but you know...the camera never lies! :rofl:

Alas, I didn't get the chance to ask him anything. But I have confidence in him regarding gay marriage...he'll get there. And in the very least, I don't believe he'll do anything to block legislation that would allow gay marriage. After all, when it comes down to it, the president can't personally make it legal all by his/her self. ;)

[rug]

21. He's the bestlooking one of the bunch.

[huskerlaw]

27. He is...

really good looking.

But, you know, his position on the issues, his character and his personality make him all the more attractive, IMO.

[Haole Girl]

22. Did you get to meet Elizabeth?

They were on The Tonight Show, last night...great appearance.

I loved the way John said he found out Elizabeth supports gay marriage by reading it in the paper. lol!
Interesting choice of words he had, too, when he told Jay Leno, "She says what she means." Well...yes...I wish they all would!!! ;-)

[huskerlaw]

28. Unfortunately not...

She skipped the fundraiser. :(

Trust me, if I had met her, she would have been included in the post title!

I wish more politicians (and their spouses) said what they mean as well. I think Elizabeth is a HUGE asset to John and his campaign.

[Haole Girl]

29. That's too bad

I agree...she is an asset to John's campaign. And, obviously, the love of his life.

[huskerlaw]

31. She is

both of those things...agreed.

I guess that just means that I have to go to more fundraisers! I'll meet here eventually, dang it. ;)
