Zander meets his constituents

Zander doesn't know it yet, but his parents have big plans for him when he grows up. In addition to being a world-class football (soccer) player and an eloquent writer, we are already grooming our son to be the first man to ever run two countries. That's right: as a dual citizen of Holland and America (and naturally being fluent in at least Dutch and English), we believe his obvious career path is to become the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, followed by an 8-year stint in the White House. Of course.

How do we know this is possible? Because he's already pressing the flesh, making the rounds, getting to know the people on their terms. Here are just a few of his constituents who are already prepared to vote for Zander. You can tell by the big smiles on their faces.

If they had to vote today, its obvious that Tracey and Jacques would cast their ballot for Zander (nevermind that they're not eligible to vote in either country...).


In a strategy session with my friend and the most organized and clear-headed person I have ever had the pleasure of working for, Zoe:


Even our nanny Gima is all smiles when it comes to Zander's political future.


Now, considering that he's wearing a shirt that says "Macho" while hanging out with Linda may alienate some women voters who are wary of aggressive displays of machismo...


And finally, there's no telling what will come out of it when Niek and Zander put their heads together (but note the Griz t-shirt, which will certainly get the attention of the Montana voters).
