Bob and Elizabeth reminisce


Sen. Elizabeth Dole's new campaign Web site includes a five-minute video in which she and her husband, former Sen. Bob Dole, talk about how they met.

The video, which features lighting design that would make Barbara Walters' producers jealous, is modeled loosely on segments from the film, "When Harry Met Sally," in which couples talk about how they met. In the Dole's case, there was an initial attraction, followed by a series of phone calls, particularly from the shy Bob Dole.

She was in his office to discuss a policy issue.

"A side door opened. Bob Dole Walked in. And I remember looking up at him and thinking, 'My goodness, he's an attractive man.'" 

He noticed too.

"I think that's the first time I saw her, and I thought to myself, this is not a bad little meeting we're having here," he said.

Re: Bob and Elizabeth reminisce

I'm just glad they refrained from re-enacting the diner scene.
