The Candidate's Wife: To endorse or not to endorse - Reader's Digest version because the actual transcript would bore you to tears
Me: No.
Primo: Maybe.
Me: Nononono.
Primo: Maybe.
Me: Why should you?
Primo: Party unity.
Me: Screw the party.
Primo: I know.
Me: Honestly. Why should she get your literal political capital?
Primo: Because I still want her to win the seat because it's good for my side and because after spending time with her yesterday, I like her.
Me: Uh huh.
Primo: She is really very nice.
Me: But we don't like her!
Primo: I know...
Me: BUT WE DON'T LIKE HER!
Primo: But - after talking to her, I realize she is actually very nice.
Me: And Not Running Again! And Other Political Guy Who Tweeted About Her!
Primo: I asked her about that. NRA is her neighbor. She's never even met OPG and was horrified at the idea of developing that land.
Me: She seems clueless. Her issues...
Primo: We might have been wrong about that. I asked her about the human trafficking. She said that she has been working at weddings in our district and has seen women being taken to rooms - women she knows are victims of human trafficking.
Me: I hate being wrong. Were we wrong about EVERYTHING?
Primo: I don't know. Her speeches are bad.
Me: But only because she hasn't had practice.
Primo: Yes. I was bad at first.
Me: And then you listened to me and got better.
Primo: I think I might endorse her.
Me: But we don't like her!
Primo: But maybe we do? She really is very nice.
Me: OH MAN. I HATE LOSING.
Primo: It's the right thing to do.
Primo: Maybe.
Me: Nononono.

Number of signatures it is reasonable to collect on a weekday when you are not facing a primary challenger who is covering the same territory you are: a lot fewer than 40
