(CHICAGO) As Barack Obama's presidential campaign shifts into panicmode, Obama has reopened secret talks to become the principlespokesperson for Heinz products, pending the outcome of this year'spresidential election.

According to a source close to his campaign, Obama had beenapproached in early May by the Heinz Corporation shortly after he madehis legendary jingle-worthy gaffe on the campaign trail in Oregon:“[W]e've traveled to every corner of the United States. I've now beenin 57 states.”

His verbal fumble is reminiscent of The Heinz Corporation's worldfamous slogan, “57 Varieties,” which the company has used continuouslysince 1892.

Although Obama turned down the original contract, he approached arepresentative of Heinz as early as yesterday to see if the offer wasstill on the table. Recent events have apparently caused Obama torethink his options.

According to sources, Obama and his inner circle were “literallyblown off their pedestal of confidence” by what insiders call“Hurricane Palin,” their euphemism for Gov. Sarah Palin, Sen. JohnMcCain's pick for his running mate.

“We don't know how to run against her,” said Alton Braddock, a self-described Obama insider. “She's wack.”

Meanwhile, Obama, who later made light of his 57-state mistake, is said to be mulling signing the contract on election day.

The Heinz company was founded by Henry Heinz in Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania in 1869.
