Ernie made periodic tours of the
house and checked in often by radio with his squad of security guards
positioned outside. He could put up with the boredom for three more weeks as
long as it meant that Wes Bellardi made it through the election without further
incident.
Ernie had just come in from one of
his checks around the house and had rejoined Wes. "Hey, look at
that," Ernie said, gesturing toward the television. "The latest polls
are out. We're pulling farther ahead of the marijuana queen." They watched
the figures scroll across the screen. The off-camera political analyst
interpreting the data stopped just short of projecting a win for Senator Bellardi.
Ernie added, “Apparently the debates woke up some people about what's wrong
with legalized drugs and mercy killing and gays being coddled like a minority
group."
