Suddenly, I seem to be on a first name basis with the Democratic ticket. Yesterday, John Kerry emailed before announcing his selection of John Edwards as his running mate. Today, Edwards emailed me. Hmm...I wonder when I get to call in my favors?
Dear Jack,
This campaign is about America's future. It's a celebration of American values. Together, John Kerry and I will work to build an America that's stronger at home and respected around the world.
I am so excited to join this campaign. It was only fitting that after phoning me, John emailed you...first with the news. His success would never have been possible without your support over the past four months. I've been amazed at what you've done on the ground, where it counts -- at the grassroots level. It's because of your energy and enthusiasm that America will work for all of us....
Thank you,
John Edwards
Careful, Senator; before too much longer, I just might begin believing my press clippings....
I don't have the heart to tell the guys I originally supported Wesley Clark. Ah, well...what they don't know won't hurt them, right??
If they REALLY wanted to show your gratitude, they COULD start by offering me a job as a speechwriter. You want flowery, purple rhetoric? I'm your man.
Of course, the next thing you know, they'll be asking me for money....
