Wonderful romance story at the blog: Albuquerque to Amsterdam.
These two met through the Dean campaign, and are blogging together now.

I first read about Howard Dean in the Seattle publication, The Stranger. It was a story about a vibrant, intelligent, moderate Presidential candidate who was also anti-war. I was intrigued and thrilled. On June 28, 2003, I joined 3,000 other Dean supporters at my first Dean rally in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and I left thinking "I will do everything in my power to help this man." I managed to balance my graduate work in chemistry with doing anything and everything I could do for his campaign. I had my "15 minutes of fame" on Blog for America when I joined up with a Seattle Dean supporter to canvas on Mercer Island ("Albuquerque-Seattle Dean Alliance") and the Nov. 7 ("Drive for Democracy").

Ever since Bush became president of the United States in 2001, I had been following US politics more closely than usual. I was worried about the direction his administration was taking the country in, and the effects of its disastrous foreign policy. I was disappointed to not find much Democratic resistance to his policies. Until, at the start of 2003, I read an article about Howard Dean speaking out against the obviously impending Iraq war....."

This was taken in Amsterdam.

2. Yay for Paige and Frank!
I used to blog a lot and wrote to her once or twice. She's VERY sweet! And a helluva hard-worker.

And her story of canvassing up in Washington was really amazing. It showed so much of the spontaneity and fun behind the Dean campaign.

Good for both of them. I hope she finds as much happiness long distance as rep and I did!

4. Thanks for the link!
Our very own reprehensor and I are a long-distance internet relationship (Canada and the USA).

But we began writing a long time back, in 1998, and married in 2000. We didn't meet on the Dean campaign, but he's been my incredible support network at home while I've been out canvassing, protesting, and doing the Lord's work. ;-)

My daughter met her guy on the web, and they have been together almost 5 years.
