I took this blog piece below, straight from Steve's blog in case you're interested to know a little more about the historical day he experienced, although it may have been even moreso had the guy won:

In February of 2008, the week Mitt Romney suspended his campaign and threw his support behind John McCain, the Arizona senator and would-be president came to Washington. I got to ride with other reporters in a van that took him from Boeing Field to a hotel in downtown Seattle. The other reporters did most of the talking. I held a video camera for a while and listened. I got one question in, a follow-up question.Today I wrote about the event on my work blog, Kitsap Caucus. Go there to see my recollection of that day.
