The Race For President

You swallow your pride, as you decide that maybe it is better off that America didn't get to know the `real' you.

In the latest poll, only three percent of the people surveyed actually knew what your first name was, while twenty-four percent said they would vote for you for president. President Clinton still is ahead in the polls with forty percent, Dole trails him with thirty-six percent, but you and Gingrich are rapidly gaining ground. The political world is in a frenzy over `the one guy' and Newt Gingrich.

He realizes that with you in the race there is no way for him to win, and he wants to make a deal.

On one side of the coin, your future will be secured, but on the other side, you popularity is gaining so rapidly, so early in the campaign, and you have a realistic shot at becoming president.
