Those last two paragraphs (and especially the last one) were fantastically written. Nice work!

i don't know when i'll find out if i was elected or not, but i assume i'd know by now. then again, maybe they're still counting the votes :) i'd really really love to go to the state convention, but we'll see. also, i don't really get how that was an argument for mccain, but okay.

"...There's something radical and unbelievable about the notion that this is part of how we choose who will lead the free world: two rooms full of college kids, queer Capitol Hill young professionals, middle-aged women and older people who cast their first vote for FDR, worked on JFK's campaign, etc., standing there now for Hillary Clinton, drawing their names in large block letters on a piece of poster paper, telling jokes, eating hot dogs. In the downtime, we're separating trash, making plans for post-caucus beers, reading books by David Sedaris." That's the greatest collection of reasons for voting for John McCain I've ever seen. Congratulations.

When do you find out if you won the election? I thought about running, but took my name being grossly misspelled (or absent) from the ballot as a sign that my convention-going days ended at the LD.
