What If?

I just returned from my first official interview and I've already found out that there is in fact someone running against me. So now more than ever, I need your support!

The interview went well, very well considering that I had some pre-game nervousness going on as I approached the restaurant. But once I arrived I settled in and put the game face on I was golden. Laura Oppenheimer is the writer who interviewed me and I must say that I know little of her work but should she ever run for public office I would give her my endorsement. She was very engaging and before I knew it I was settling in to a comfortable conversation that had very little to do with soil and/or water.

The focus of her story is more along the lines of "what if?" or "why not?" Not the hard-hitting political machine that the likes of Larry King and Bill O'Reilly led me to believe was the standard. No doubt an interview with either of those two would result in my limbs being torn off and a mental breakdown that even Johnny Drama would respect. The viral video that would undoubtedly result might produce a moderate amount of internet fame but my political career would be deader than Shaq's acting career.

As I ferociously made short work of my dumplings we discussed how I came about making the decision to run and how I felt about the political process. I don't want to give too much away as the article is tentatively slated to print on Tuesday but we had good conversation throughout the entire meal.

On a side note: If you ever have a chance to check out Steamer's Bistro (SW 5th and Madison) you will find a rare occurrence of sauce abundance. Too often am I faced with more pot sticker than sauce and I am very against that. If this water and soil thing doesn't pan out I'm going to focus my next candidacy on creating and directing the Sauce, Spread and Dip Commission. Shout out to Tom in Doncaster, England who I now see is a follower of this blog.

This weekend proves to be pivotal as I hope you all get out there and recruit people to my cause. It's going to be a crazy week next week and if there is any hope of an election party I need these votes to come it. Because, why not?
