Why this must be read: For one thing, both authors nail the voices of all the characters, from both 'verses, and manage to position everyone so that it seems PERFECTLY LOGICAL that the Panic boys would be working the campaign trail/White House. This is more a series of scenes from a universe than a coherent "series", but it gets to the heart of the optimism that the WW embodied and works interestingly around the thought of what Spencer and co.'s life might have looked like if they hadn't automatically decided a band was the way to go.



Something Spencer has learned about Sam Seaborn is that he really means everything he says. Spencer felt it that first time he saw the senator speak, the event at Berkeley, and again when Ryan joined him in Sacramento, but he knows it now. The comments that sound casual to others will always have a follow-up. Spencer pulls out his notebook to write, Smithsonian, and a Polaroid falls from between the pages. The senator picks it up off the floor.

"Did you take this?" He holds it up to the window for better light.

"No. My, um, friend. Uh, Jon Walker took it. He--"

"The guy from Reuters? I like him." The senator hands the photo back. "No matter where we are, he always seems to be having a good time."
