Wish there was even more of this once elections are over. Jim, politicians often show care for their constituents when they get close to the people as you show here.

I have to admit at first I was a little taken aback by your title, but after reading it, I definitely see your point. I think too often the political machinery turns what would otherwise be very likable people into caricatures, don't you? I'm glad you had the chance to get to know some of them, though. At least you have that. Hey, thanks for participating in this month's WILF, Jim! Hope you join us every month! Cheers, and a tip o' the hat to ya!
