From Indecision

Here is the part of the post where you set up the important information about David Plouffe's upcoming book, in which he discusses how close Hillary Clinton came to being chosen as Barack Obama's running mate.

And here's where you throw to some more reputable website's post which contains a quote suitable for spinning a joke…

What surprised me at [our first meeting to discuss the vice presidency] was that Obama was clearly thinking more seriously about picking Hillary Clinton than Ax and I had realized …. At our next meeting, we narrowed the list down to six. Barack continued to be intrigued by Hillary.

"I still think Hillary has a lot of what I am looking for in a VP," he said to us. "Smarts, discipline, steadfastness. I think Bill may be too big a complication. If I picked her, my concern is that there would be more than two of us in the relationship."…

And here's where you make a joke about Bill Clinton and his probable comfortability with ménages à trois.

And that's how you write a post about the most important woman in American politics. (I think there's a certain sad poignancy in that.)
