That was probably the most interesting aspect. I was a 22 yr old "kid" and I was in meetings with some really important people on the world stage. One, a former NJ US Senator, was just recently sentenced to jail (with his wife). I can completely understand why Bill was elected President and Hilary was not. Bill Clinton was one of the most charming and engaging people you will ever meet. Hilary was simply awful to be around.
Prior to running to I went to Uni in Washington DC and many of my friends worked on the Hill so I was also able to meet some really important politicians through my friends and their internships.
Be careful though, once politics is in your blood, its hard to give it up. I understand why politicians dont want term limits.
