Presidential Candidates Desperate To Meet Erik

April 27, 2007

SAN DIEGO

ENN was on hand at the two-day California Democratic Party Convention in the den of sin known as "San Diego, California" this week, as presidential candidates one after another queued up and waited to meet with Erik.

Tensions ran high as each candidate jockeyed for a better position from which to see Erik. "Dammit," said Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich, as he tried to shove the much taller John Edwards (D-NC) out of the way.

Despite the pushing and shoving, eventually each candidate had a few moments to meet with Erik before he had to move on to another more important engagement.

"I'm sure it was a pleasure to meet me," Erik told a throng of reporters outside the convention hall. When asked what he thought of the Democrats' chances in 2008, Erik thought for a moment, then reflected: "I'm really happy to see that people from traditionally underrepresented groups like white southerners, women, blacks, and leprechauns finally have a viable candidate running for the highest office in the land."

When asked which candidate would receive his highly-prized Important Endorsement, Erik remained coy. "Let's just say I'm carefully considering all the white guys. I still have some work to do before deciding which one will best represent my interests.  I'll let you know, don't worry."

As an elected delegate to the California Democratic Party, Erik also attended various committee meetings and voted on a few proposals while at the convention. When asked which proposal he found the most exciting, Erik said, "Uh... I think there was one about me getting comped at a casino or something like that? I voted for it. Then there was a 'quorum call,' whatever that means, and I just booked it on out of there. Gotta run."
