Attention all political writers

[lady_songsmith]

Please find some way to describe the Vice Presidency other than "a heartbeat away from the Presidency." Suggested alternatives include: "a short step", "one illness", and "inches". Thesauri are available on request. Your compliance is appreciated.

Sincerely,
She who is going to scream if she reads that phrase one more time

Was I the only one wondering if Aaron Sorkin wrote Obama's speech for Thursday night?

If I had the time, I'd do a video montage with clips from The American President and clips from Obama's acceptance speech.

Um, so much that MSNBC's commentators commented on it? ;)
