For some odd reason, the Democrats want me to run for office
So, for some odd reason, the Democrat Party wants me to run for office, any office. And I’m not really sure why.
The other day, I was contacted by a headhunter from the Democrat Party that feels I would be a great candidate to run for office. And while I think being a congressman or a senator would be kind of awesome, I am really lost as to how they picked my name out of a hat. I mean, I don’t win anything ever. I’ve been playing the Powerball lottery for years, and I’ve never won more than ten dollars. I suck at winning. So why me?
And I mean it. Why Me? First off, there are a bunch of reasons why I could imagine they wouldn’t choose me as a candidate. I mean, I’m a writer, a novelist, and other than a few outliers, writers aren’t normally considered great political choices.
I’m also a college professor. Those aren’t always considered the first choice for political parties. Teachers don’t often get chosen to run for higher office. Oh, they might be great when running for a school board, but teachers don’t often want to run for school boards. I know I wouldn’t. But seriously, what do I know?
They probably haven’t done a whole lot of scrutinizing of me either. I have all sorts of skeletons in my closet. Like once, I removed the tag from my mattress, even though there…
