Politics is Like Music

So I was walking from the Metro to work, thinking about bandom, like you do, and it was the normal morning rush on K Street, with the dudes at Farragut selling flowers and a homeless man hawking newspapers, that one Chinese musician just getting his gear set up, men in suits clutching their copies of Politico and their Blackberries and trendy women in skirts and sneakers ducking into Firehook for coffee. And I was thinking, god, what we really need is a good political AU!

And I don't know the K Street world or the Capitol Hill world well enough, really, do those justice, but man, could I ever do the campaign trail AU. Here's what might happen.
