Ahahaha, I like the way you think.
The political convo can be the break-the-ice stage, where it might be a little awkward at first, but once it gets going things will run smoother.
I also like the raunctious partying too (well, not raunctious, but still pretty wild). Even though it would seem out of character, It sounds good. :) But it can't get too out of hand, just some light hearted flirtation and much joking around, and a few incidents where we knock things over and obsessively apologize
