Political Campaigning (Thursday, April 27, 4th period)

Josh had brought coffee and pizza for the class. The walls were decorated with campaign posters for the three candidates and a phone in the corner was rigged to ring every two minutes.

Add it to the huge, practically sentient pile of papers on Josh's desk and it looked very much like a campaign office.

"Okay, guys," he said, smiling. "Today you get to show me if I've managed to teach you anything at all about campaigning." He sat down in his chair. "Grab some pizza and coffee and demonstrate how your guy is going to be the Senator from Montana come November."

She grinned. "You also taught me more respect for the system, and the people who work on campaigns. About how much work it is, and the places where it can go wrong. I don't have the personality to deal with it full-time directly, but I can be a campaign supporter with a lot more savvy now." Parker shrugged. "That counts, doesn't it?"

Josh looked very pleased. "I'm glad to hear it, Parker. It's more than I thought any of you would get out of the class, to be honest."

"It was a helluva lot of work, but fun," Parker admitted. "Are you coming back next fall?" She looked sad for a minute. "I'm already bummed CJ is leaving. Tell me I don't have to send you e-postcards too."

"I'll be back, yeah," Josh said, grinning. "I just have to go get some real world experience on a special election this summer."

"I'll watch the papers for it. And mock when you don't use llamas. Amd MTV."

"Not sure llamas would have quite the appeal in inner city Detroit," Josh replied with a smile. "But I'll keep it in mind."

"They'd at least have shock value," Parker pointed out, then grinned. "Have a great summer, Professor Lyman."

"You too," Josh replied. "See you in September."
