Watching TV in bed this morning, I noticed that everyone in the news business seems to be in Denver. Everyone except us.
Meet the team: Thomas Pierce, David Gilkey, and David Greene.
That's right, we're not going to Denver in search of senators and superdelegates. Instead, we are driving across America in search of other, less obvious leaders — the high school Chemistry teacher or the street vendor who gives you dating advice. We've asked for your suggestions, and we're listening. Cynthia Nelms writes that we should come to Mobile, Alabama to meet Mayor Sam Jones, who works across party lines. Jessie Giambra and Emily Brown think we should visit their world history and geography teacher at their high school in Phoenix. Someone even suggested we come to Hawaii (and we very, very regretfully must decline).
We have officially begun our search in Chicago — home of the Bulls and the Cubs and the White Sox, hotdogs with relish and pickles, deep-dish pizza, and Barack Obama.
(And don't worry: this is the last time you're going to see a photo of us. Gilkey made us do it and look whose face is conveniently blocked by the camera.)
