More Coattails

Another special election, another ambitious politico bandwagoning or Barack-wagoning. This time Assemblymember Curren Price, described as "one of Barack Obama's earliest supporters", tries for a little iconic assist. What fun.

Maybe I should author a mailer: 'Like Barack Obama, I am of mixed origin with strong ties to Hawaii, please support my community organizing and real estate ambitions.' Then I could riff a little on the Stimulus Package and water conservation, throw in a chart, and a photograph wherein I'm playing soccer with children in Chivas jerseys.
