The kids had had so much fun in parades for my campaign that they refused to be left behind for another, and though the weather was something less than clement, they were all real troopers.
Here are some pictures, shared with me by Tom Malinowski, who took them:
Here we are, waiting for the step-off. That's the Extraordinary Boy up on the truck, and John Paul (4) in the wagon.
Himself, as the Irish might say. Joe understands that despite the necessary form of a campaign that features the candidate's name and face, this campaign isn't really about Joe Walsh. It's about taking back the 8th District congressional seat from liberals who share neither the values nor the interests of the people of the 8th District.
Some of the group along the parade route. You can see Joe's wife, Helene, pulling John Paul's wagon, which she volunteered to do for most of the parade.
An enthusiastic group, its spirits undampened by the weather.
Joe and his wife Helene.
Joe greeted as many voters personally as he could reach along the route.
My daughter was shouting "Vote for Joe! Vote for Joe!" I hope the trailer wasn't moving when this was taken; she was supposed to be sitting down.
The whole group afterwards; Joe has his arm around John Paul.
