The Faithful - Chapter Ten ("White People")

Pennsylvania is a bad news state for everyone on the campaign, from Barack Obama down to Reggie, Caroline, Chloe, and Kanesha. While the professional pols are desperate to spin Reverand Wright and Barack's "Bitter" gaffe, and Hillary relentlessly plays the White Worker card, our cast is desperately seeking to uncover the spy in their midst, the one they've been calling "X". Now that they know who it is, they discover there may also be a "Y"!

It's not all bad. Kanesha enjoys an hour of majorly rough sex before dismissing her lover from her life. And Thomas, our gay narrator, is on the trail of a hot new attraction.

Despite a loss in Pennsylvania, Barack is moving inexorably to victory and The Faithful to its climax.

Check out Chapter Ten of The Faithful.

The Faithful - Chapter Seven (The Inevitable Candidate)

In Chapter 7 of The Faithful, the Obama campaign team speculates that the spy in their midst was planted by the Clinton camp. "Suddenly," says our narrator, "I realized just how dangerous a Clinton camp spy in our midst could be. These people are ruthless. Winning, winning, winning - winning is everything. They have no soul. Hillary didn’t care if her dirty politics hurt the Democratic Party and the nation. Wouldn’t some of the people who worked for her stop at nothing to help her?"

They become desperate to find X, who's been reporting their steamy sexual liaisons to a snoopy New York Times reporter. But any one of them could be the traitor.
