so close

Who knew I'd ever be this close to a presidential candidate?

John McCain came to our plant yesterday. He originally was going to do a press conference from here as well, but when all the accusations came out yesterday they cancelled that part. He still visited though and took a tour. There were a few articles about it in our papers, here is the latest.

These pictures were taken at the plant and he is looking at (and sitting in) a Focus (the vehicle I worked on for the last two years). I was relatively close to him at this point in his tour, and even though I didn't get too close, it was still kind of cool to see him.

For me, no matter which side of the political fence I'm on, it's always cool to see these people in person. Maybe next time I'll try to run up and sneak into a picture...

I think if you tried running up to get into a picture, we might see your picture on the evening news after secret service took you down.
