Murphy for President, Part II

While taking the girls for our afternoon walk, I listened to NPR.  John McCain was talking about "beginning the process to begin to the selection process of deciding who he would select for a vice-presidential candidate."  Wow,  the whole circus of deciding nominees these days makes the cigar-smoke-back-room deals seem efficient!  Or at least more cost effective!

Murphy, always ready to make a quick decision, wanted me to announce who her vice-presidential candidate will be.  I know this is a surprise, but it's Sage!

Younger, more vibrant, hip, appealing to the "YouTube, FaceBook" crowd, Sage can entertain the masses with her "three legged dog" trick.  Plus she is independent, not beholden to the toast or cheese lobby, much less to Murphy.  

Analysts will comment on the homogenous ticket, two Yellow Labs, but really, can Murphy give the country anything less than perfection (although she still questions whether her sister is perfect, but we are doing are best to conceal those concerns from the press).  

Sage has a few positions that will certainly appeal to younger voters.  All stuffed toys must have their stuffing removed to be really cool.  There is nothing wrong with laying around in bed all day.  "No" is not a word in her vocabulary.

While Murphy has not been attracting adoring crowds to her rallies, she believes naming her running mate will add momentum to her grassroots campaign.  Or it will at least add more spots on the grass.

Murphy's day.

Ah yes, but can Sage be bribed by special interests with promised of universal bones for all - Yes she can!
