We just received a personal e-mail from John and wanted to share it with you.
Yes, we call him John. You can call him presidential candidate Kerry.
He wanted to let us know before the general public got wind of the news that John Edwards was his choice for No. 2 on the Democratic ticket.
That's right - you heard it here first, folks: Kerry-Edwards taking on Bush-Cheney in a tag-team match of great proportions.
We are impartial, objective journalists, so we're not sure why John (Kerry, that is) would write us. But he had some very kind words.
First he called us the "heart and soul" of his campaign. Pretty heady stuff, eh?
He went on to say, "Every time someone said you couldn't do it, you proved them wrong." And of course he is right (although we're not quite sure what it was we couldn't or could do).
The rest was stuff about Edwards. You know, "Edwards is great," blah blah blah. "Courage and conviction." Blah blah.
We're still waiting for our e-mail from Dubya, because we know both guys will want to drop by the house, talk about strategy, Vietnam, drugs and alcohol, the standard political stuff.
If you have any policy suggestions, just drop a line. We'll pass it on.
And we suspect our suggestions will carry some weight, us being the "heart and soul" and everything.
