Politico
It never crossed him mind that his politics were what made him attractive. Usually, his politics were the deal breaker and he would find himself kicked out of bed, again, when the early morning whispered conversation into his cell phone escalated to a full-fledged rant.
When she was naked underneath him and he discovered that he had somehow been divested of his pants, he gave up trying to figure out the Minnesota numbers. He didn't stop worrying about the Minnesota numbers, but he had to abandon the actual calculations. She, he could tell, was still trying to figure it out, even as she began on the buttons of his shirt.
It was then he knew that everything was going to be work out. He loved her brain, her inability to stop working and her ability to live in spite of it. As she moved beneath him, he doubted that he would ever know her as well as she knew him. Still, he picked up on new policy quickly enough when he wanted to (and he really wanted to), and however the election turned out, he was likely to have some spare time between tomorrow and the inauguration.
As he forgot what Minnesota was except for the nagging feeling that it was somehow important, and the words "Santos" "election" and "exit polls" were similarly replaced in his brain by things like "blonde", "good" and "keep breathing", Joshua Lyman realized that there were two things in this world he could not live without: politics and Donnatella Moss.
He could not imagine one without the other.
