You all know him, he's made sure you know him. He writes on your wall, he sends you e-mails, he invites you to a new Facebook group every other day. Sounds like a friendly guy right? Well, he is friendly, but he's the Politician. And he needs your help.

More often than not around here the Politician is liberal and will do everything and anything in his power to make sure his candidate will win. If that means wallpapering his entire door with Hilary Clinton bumper stickers, then so be it! He'll make that sacrifice. Or maybe it means spending thirteen straight hours chalking a 30-foot mural of Bill Richardson on the Diag. The future of the country is that important!

His dedication to his cause is admirable, but that won't stop you from putting him in your spam filter or automatically deleting every Facebook message with his face to the left of the subject line. In person, in order to avoid talking politics with him you try to concentrate on something completely neutral, like the weather, but that just gets him going about global warming.

He'll probably be a Senator someday, his professional resume now already boasting letters of recommendation from Jennifer Granholm, Carl Levin and Bill Clinton himself. You might want to humor him and attend one of his rallies for a change. In 10 years when you wake up with a dead hooker in your room and a kilo of coke in your briefcase, you'll have someone to call to make it all go away. He's the Politician. He is the future.
