(8,846 posts)NALEAO (National Assn of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials) Had their national convention in Orlando, FL. The had Republican and Democratic Presidential forums on different days.
Three of us, who were very active in Florida Democratic politics at the time were given an invitation to spend the day in the Green Room, with the candidates. It was private and informal. Just us, the candidates and a couple of their staffers, and security. No press or anyone else, other than Edwards who showed up with his two bus entourage. And we got to spend the day just bullshitting and talking informally. The only candidate who wasn't there was Bill Richardson.
Now, Joe Biden is a guy you'd really like to go out drinking with. Friendly, charming, and a bullshit artist of the first magnitude.
