Met Senator Kaine today along with Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly

We had our picture taken with him today at a rally in Tallahassee. Gabby Giffords and her husband were also there. It was a great rally with an emphasis on gun violence. Gabby Giffords still has trouble speaking but said that two words she looks forward to saying are "Madame President."
Kaine seems like a really nice down to earth guy. I asked him where his harmonica was and he said that he had 6 harmonicas in his car.

and welcome to DU I still remember the day Gabby was shot- it seemed so surreal. Hopefully the work of her and her husband will pay off for us all.
