Some things never change dept.
“Eligible candidates” indeed:
The Obama campaign is in no way affiliated with the Official Barack in NYC After-party, set for 7:30 at the 4-0/40 Club in the Flatiron District, but you can bet the young and the restless will file up Fifth Ave. from the park to continue, well, showing their support.
Even the invite for the event reads like a singles bash:
“Hope hits the Big Apple! Join us at Jay-Z’s 4-0/40 Club on Thursday as we ride the winds of change from the hottest rally in New York. Move to the music, socialize with friends, and let your voice be heard as we celebrate with audacity.”
One ardent Obama supporter (who declined to give his name because he works in politics) says he’ll attend both the rally and the after-party, and he doesn’t expect to be going home alone.
He’s confident for a reason.
“Let’s face it: Leftie girls are easy,” he says.
Yeah, but it’s kinda tough getting past all that leg and armpit hair. Not to even mention the sick-making odor of patchouli and clove cigarettes. Hell, give me a good cigar any day — or a bad one, for that matter.

Update! I just reread that invite text, and jeez, have you ever in your life read anything so utterly hollow and devoid of any real meaning? “Let your voice be heard;” “celebrate with audacity.” Lord, the poor little dears are straining so hard to be “relevant” and “hip” I can almost hear ‘em grunt from here. If I had any respect for these hopeless young dweebs at all, I’d be embarrassed for ‘em. If, that is.
