I can only think of a few and they are all local politicans (the incoming mayor and some of the council).  Anyone know anyone pretty high up?

One, [Minnesota] House Minority Leader Marty Seifert.  Outside chance of my State Representative, though I doubt she remembers me.

I've talked to Bob Ehrlich, Michael Steele, Ben Cardin, Barbara Mikulski, some local senators, county officials, and Martin O'Malley.  Oh yea and Paul Sarbanes before his term ended helped me with a merit badge for my Eagle Scout award.

Ur right about me, I never said I knew them, I have only met them.  The only one who actually knows me is Sarbanes.

Myself, Dick Moccia (Mayor), Larry Cafero (CT House Minority Leader), Chris Shays (Congressman).  These are the only people I'm on a first name basis with. Anyone else that I know I refuse to call them by first name, I call them by title.

On the national level:

John Warner
Tom Davis
Dick Durbin
Gary Ackerman
Joe Sestak

Those are all the ones I can recall at the moment.  I know a lot of state/local level politicians, but there are too many to name (and you wouldn't know 99% of them either).

MSP Margaret Mitchell
Councillor John Murray

There are more, whom I know through party links but it would be pointless to try and decide whether or not I was on first name terms with them.

Yes, Peter Julian. There may be more, but I am 100% certain he knows my name, since I've worked for him.

I shook hands with Bob Graham once, and all of the town council in my hometown know me.

Perhaps they are known to some politicians by their avatar instead. Wink
