(111,974 posts)However, I think that I've been able to maintain at least a fifty mile buffer zone from him over the last seven or eight years.

(204,816 posts)I'd love to see my senators in person and I did see Kirsten Gillibrand once since she used to be my congresswoman, but after she became senator we did have Democratic representation for another term. I worked for and met her successor, Scott Murphy. He actually lives not far from me. But he won the first election and lost the second so we're a Republican district yet again.

Tom Vilsack was a fellow graduate of Hamilton College as was his wife, Christie Bell (who also ran for public office, though she didn't win). I know he's not that popular here, but it is kinda cool to me since it was a pretty small school.
