Matt,

Last night, Zack asked me to wake him in the morning before I left for work.

“I have to vote tomorrow,” he said.
I asked, “Who are you going to vote for?”
“Not sure.”
“You’re going to have to decide soon,” I reminded him.

This morning, right before I left, I poked my head in the bathroom door.
“Have you decided yet?” I asked him.
“Nope,” he said, while shampooing his hair.
“What are you going to do?” I asked, “Just pick the guy that’s on the top of the list?”
He said, “No,” then paused. “I think I am going to write in Ron Paul.”

So, never mind Zack’s constant stance that Ron Paul was going to damage America with his Gold Standard Ideals, and never mind the hours of discussions you two had, wherein he told you that voting for Ron Paul was the wrong choice, because being crazy about the Gold Standard meant that Ron Paul would be crazy about other things, too.  Looks like you won him over in the end.*

That, or Zack is taking desperate strides to remain the neutral middle, for the sake of the sanity of this year’s Thanksgiving dinner.  You know.  One or the other.

Love,

Sarah II

*Having not conversed with Zack since this morning, I can not, in any way, verify whether or not he actually did write in Ron Paul.  But the above conversations, contrary to the usual dialogue on my blog, did actaully happen, almost word-for-word.  And I have been laughing about it ever since.
