…staring at my cell phone, waiting for The Text from The One, I was thinking “Mitch?  You know that the one area where “Barack”, as his friends call him, is vulnerable is among hard-core establishment liberals from the northeast.  If only “Barack” could shore up his support among white, upper-middle-to-upper-class northeastern liberals, he’d really become a strong “buy”. 

And then The Phone beeped.

It was a special offer from my cell phone provider.  I erased it.

And then The Phone beeped again.  It was The Text from The One, with The Choice!

“Wow“, I thought, “that was weird.  But what a choice!  “Barack” could have chosen Evan Bayh, to appeal to the more-moderate midwestern vote, the Hillaristas, where he’s traditionally a tad weaker.  Or he could have chosen Bill Richardson, and actually brought some common sense to the ticket.”

“But he picked Biden – and by doing so, he not only shored up his Northeastern Urban Institutional Liberal vote, but he also added “foreign policy experience”, because Joe Biden forty-odd years in the Senate where has been utterly wrong on every foreign policy issue from the Cold War on down“. 

I nodded my head, satisfied.

And then I pressed The Button to erase The Message.
