I know this is a serious interview about two serious people but...

"When Mr. Axelrod calls him, the senator’s phone is set on vibrate."

Damn, this thing is slashy!

XD

The whole thing reads like it was written by a slasher.

I'm all torn though. I was totally shipping Obama/Biden, but now this Obama/Axelrod ship is intriguing me. Obama/Biden/Axelrod OT3? That has definite possibilities.

Don't forget

Every politician has a guardian angel, and every presidential hopeful has a right-hand dispenser of wisdom. Yet in the trio of top strategists around Mr. Obama, including Robert Gibbs, a senior communications adviser, and David Plouffe, the campaign manager, it is Mr. Axelrod who has been at Mr. Obama’s side the longest and has the most interwoven relationship with him.

and

Oh, Mr. Axelrod believes.

LOL @ whoever wrote this making it sound so dramatic

As Mr. Obama was practicing his acceptance speech at the Democratic convention, at the very hour that a Denver stadium was filling up with supporters, a knock sounded on the door of his hotel suite. He was at an emotional high point of the address, the moment he declared, “Enough!” But he was near the door, so he answered it.

“Room service! Someone ordered a Caesar salad?” Mr. Obama said, turning to his chief speechwriter, Jon Favreau, and Mr. Axelrod. “Did one of you guys order a Caesar salad?”

Mr. Axelrod gingerly raised his hand. Mr. Obama took the silver tray over and placed it in front of him.

“Here you go, Ax,” Mr. Obama said. “Sorry to interrupt your lunch with my convention speech.”

With that, the senator burst out laughing.

Haha, I love stories like that.

Actually, the mods prefer you to post the full article jazzypom October 27 2008, 15:49:16 UTC
For archival purposes. So er... you might want to amend your post? It's too good to get lost in the cyberspace of NYT! :D'
