The Campaign Trailhead

Naomi and I had the following conversation, this morning, as I brushed her hair...

Naomi:
Where’s dad?

Me: Downstairs.
Naomi: What’s he doing?
Me: I don’t know. He’s downstairs.
Naomi: Dad should be Mayor.
Me: He'd have my vote.
Naomi: Yeh, he’s smart…
Me: He is smart.
Naomi: …he's a good speller...
Me: Mmm-hmmm.
Naomi: …and he makes peanut butter cookies.

Better qualifications than many politicians here in Illinois! (Bet Blago never made peanut butter cookies!). Love you!

Anyone who has had his peanut butter cookies, which are actually made with cashew butter, would vote for McKibbin readily.

Also McKibbin's colorful past (nothing unethical, mind you, but colorful) might actually endear him to Blagojevich.
