3 pm
[Camera pans down on a house, in the middle of the afternoon.]
[voice-over]:
It’s 3pm, and there's a phone ringing in the White House.
[camera pans to the Oval Office, the President's desk, the phone, still ringing...]
But John McCain is safe and asleep.
[Shot of McCain snoring away in his Sleep Number bed--or maybe in his easy chair--while the world goes on around him. [Perhaps Matlock is on the teevee].]
Something is happening in the world
your vote will decide whether or not someone is awake to answer that call
[Shot of Barack Obama, shirtsleeves rolled up, answering a phone.]
Someone who is knowledgeable, intelligent, and possessed of good judgment.
Someone who was right about Afghanistan, right about the Iraq war, and right about a time-table for withdrawal.
Someone who is awake.
[another shot of McCain sleeping. He snorts a little. There may be some drool. The phone rings, and rings...]
Its 3pm, and John McCain is safe and asleep.
But don't you want someone answering that phone?

P mac
damn iPod touch: it makes me type like a drunk even when I ain't.
Sure you're sober, P mac...
Sure you are...
Funny!
Maybe a little coda to twist the knife:
And what if the message comes in by email or text message?
Crap! I wish I'd thought of that, LL.
Feel free to use it, but change the first use of 'message' to 'news'. Reads better that way.
Man, I'm having a lot of fun with the news lately. Seems you are, too.
