Overshadowed by a Running Mate

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: September 21, 2008

What candidates and hurricanes have in common…

Ike was Gustav's running mate.
The surge he caused made quite a wake.
His whirlwind tour of the Gulf
created quite a stir.

Like Sarah Palin and McCain,
Ike upstaged Gustav's dull campaign.
He proved to be the stronger storm,
a force to reckon with.

And in the aftermath of Ike
of damaged buildings and the like,
we are reminded once again
there's much we can't control.
