I thought that you might enjoy this article I wrote today on meeting the leading Republican candidate for New York City Mayor, Joe Lhota. It's not every day that you get to spend some good time with a person of this magnitude and experience in an informal setting. Unlike the usual "campaign mode" experiences I've had, this one was fun and gave me an off-camera insight into the person, not just the campaigning hand-shaking candidate.
In the past I've met Governor Andrew Cuomo (also a fellow law school alum whose outlines were legendary, lol), Anthony Weiner (several times, including in a suit jacket and without his sleeves rolled up although he's famous for other features), former Governor Rudy Guiliani (in a gym in Chelsea along with his body guards) among many others. It's always interesting to meet our representatives in person and get a better feel for who they are up close.
