They had been making polite small talk about politics before the men finally stopped beating around the bush. “So if the rumors are true and Governor Bush is heading for a senate seat in January the governor seat will be vacant,” congressman Murphy said.“And of course we want to make sure a democrat takes it in that case,” Senator Dave Culver filled in.  “Of course,” Donna agreed. “So do you have anyone in mind?”“Actually yes, Gregory Packard,” Mr. Morris said. He was a political consulter, that Donna had not crossed path with before. But word in Washington was that he had been given an important role in President Clinton’s upcoming 1996 campaign. “Packard?” Donna frowned, as he was far from the first politician she would have picked. But knowing that Mr. Morris was in the know about things she didn’t want to disagree with him. So she added, “Yeah he could work.”“Great. So then we can count on your help lobbying for his campaign?” Mr. Morris question threw her off guard as she hadn’t expected him to say that.  “Well… while I’m here I’ll be sure to do what I can but I’ll be going back to Washington soon and…”“Actually that’s what we wanted to talk to you about. You see we have a proposition for you,” Dave Culver said.    Donna raises an eyebrow, “You do?” “Yes, you see we would like you to remain here in Texas until the election.” Congressman Murphy explained.“You would like me to stay here for six months?” Donna asked surprised.“Yes. We’d like you to be Packard’s campaign manager. With your experience I think you could be the right person for the job and considering that next year is the presidential election having a democratic governor in Texas would be…” Mr. Morris started saying.“A valuable asset,” Donna finished his sentence as she realized it did make sense. “I agree.”“Great!” Congressman Murphy smiled. “Then you’re in?”“Well I’m honored really but, I’ve already promised the vice president I’ll be joining the preparations for next year’s presidential campaign in Washington during this fall.”“I see,” Murphy said. “No chance you could postpone that to the spring?”“Well… maybe but…”“Donna think of all the good you could be doing down here. I mean when it comes to the electoral votes…” Dave said.“Well that of course,” Donna said thoughtfully. “If we could get a democrat in the governor mansion it would put us at an advantage for next year’s election and Texas does have a significant number of electoral votes at stake.”  “It would be a win, win situation,” Mr. Morris said persuasively and they smiled.“So what do you say?” Dave asked.“Well maybe, but on one condition,” Donna said.“Anything!” Mr. Morris promised.“I’d like to be based in Dallas instead of Austin,” Donna said.“Dallas?” Mr. Morris frowned.“Yes, my daughter’s father lives there so…” Donna explained.“Of course, you should be based in Dallas,” Dave promised. “So?”“I’m going to miss you if I stay,” Donna said.“I’ll miss you too,” Dave replied. “Believe me, I wouldn’t ask this of you, if I didn’t think it was for the good of the party.”“I know,” Donna nodded.  “So can I have some time to think it over?”“How much time do you need?” Murphy asked. “If you can’t do it we’ll need to find someone else…”“Like over the weekend?” Donna asked. “I’d really like to talk to my daughter Margaret first. After all it affects her and her schoolwork too.”“Of course,” Dave nodded. “We’ll look forward to hearing from you on Monday then.”“Thank you!” Donna smiled.</blockquote>
