E. Lou Rawls for Regent, the sign said. Lou looked up and smiled at it. He had never gone by the name Lou until recently. E stood for Edward, which he had not gone by either. Instead he had been Ed, or Eddie his entire life. Parents called him Eddie, girls too it seemed, but the guys kept it to Ed.
As unlike Lou Rawls as anyone could be, E. Lou Rawls shook his head at the instant change in his 'favorables' and 'electability'. Who would have thought that by going by your middle name, you could get elected so easily. Standing five foot ten, E. Lou weighed a very thin 155. Never a huge athlete, he managed to jog occasionally, but mostly he was gifted with being a mid twenties male, and the metabolism that gives. His hair was long and the color of wheat after a sand storm. Blue eyes peeked out occasionally from the mop best described as shaggy.
There were plenty of opportunities to blow the small lead the name change brought; tonight's fund raiser being the first and perhaps most dangerous of those opportunities.
Moving into the house, it was crowded with college students motivated and momentarily working hard to get one of their own elected. Promises of workng to change the rules and regs about drinking was the plank they cared about.
It was also the first plank he would abandon once elected. College students weren't known for their long term motivation, or memory. Get elected by them, and get their parents to re-elect you. That was the formula.
Hopefully it would work.
It was Halloween, just a handful of days to the election, and the fund raiser tonight looked more like a kegger than a traditional fund raiser, but every one here chipped in. Under 21 the price of admittance was $20, $50 if over. The more than broke even. In fact it should be enough to have one last push of radio ads the morning of the election.
The revelers, err supporters, were dressed in costume, each slightly different than the others, but the major themes were the major themes for a reason. A dozen witches, demoness, vampires. Even one in a tee shirt with a list, with other checked off with H.Sapien written on the line to the right.
A murmur began to build outside. It was low, insistent yet hushed as if it were awestruck. Turning, Lou headed out to see what the fuss was.
