An Offer They Can’t Refuse
December 3, 2011 by fbk.
Well, my track record remains intact. Once again, I have supported a Presidential candidate who then got out of the race early. Last election cycle, I got so frustrated with my power that I turned it to evil uses. I endorsed Hillary Clinton to get rid of her. Then I forgot about my puissance, and after McCain named Sarah Palin as his running mate, I worked for his campaign. We all know how that turned out.
Still, this is a truly awesome power. While I may not be able to help a favored Presidential candidate, perhaps I can help my financial situation. So, Newt, Mitt, John Huntsman, etc., how much will you pay me NOT to endorse your bid for the Presidency? Conversely, how much will you pay me to endorse, and therefore totally destroy, someone else’s Presidential bid?
Let the bidding war begin!
