There was a rich man of the Republicans named Mitt, a ruler of the Mormons. The same came to Billy Graham by night and said unto him: "Renowned Reverend, we know that thou art a seer who has counseled every president since Harry Truman. What good thing shall a man do to inherit the White House and fly around the country in Air Force One?"

Then the Reverend answered and said unto him: "My son, I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a Republican to enter the White House without Ohio. You must gain the crown jewel Ohio and be able to count to 270 in the Constitutional College called Electoral."

After the election, the millionaire many times over was sad and went away grieved because he did not win Ohio and could only count to 206 in the Electoral College, posing the question: Can money really buy happiness?
