Primary Season Tour: Kissing Babies from DC to New Hampshire


At the tender age of five weeks, Shalvah's as-yet-undeclared candidacy is creating a sensation across generations of family and friends, up and down the Northeast corridor. In addition to greeting adoring crowds at her DC headquarters, Shalvah has hit the road and taken to the skies, canvassing door-to-door from DC to New Hampshire. She is a unprecedented crossover hit whose approval ratings are steady across every demographic, from great-grandmas...


to great aunts and uncles...



...great cousins...




She's been seen talking up the issues with parents' friends who will hereafter perform the important role of being the people who "knew you when you were this small"...


...and their children, for whom Shalvah's parents will be performing the same important service (she's already working the next generation of voters)...



Combining popular appeal with political savvy, Shalvah has already secured the support of notorious Beltway insiders...



...and key New Hampshire power brokers...

...hugging trees with the environmental lobby...

...while establishing her foreign policy credentials by meeting leading trade partners from Latin America...

...courting both sides of the Middle East divide...


...and emphasizing "values" with important faith constituencies...



This touring schedule is enough to make a newborn almost as sleepy as her parents, which may be why sleeping on people is Shalvah's second favorite activity (guess what the first is). See next update for details...
