| Ahem� Boys and girls, I base my campaign this year on the verbosity of former Vice President of the United States, Daniel Quayle. Mr. Quayle said: �One word probably sums up the responsibility of any Vice President, and that one word is: to be prepared.� I can promise that this one word will be the objective of my term. You know, many people think that I am running as a joke, but I insist that I am very serious about this barnstorm (wait for applause and laughter to subside)�just as serious as Gino Stolfa (pause)�and that�s very serious. For example, I, Lucas Heffer Will not do anything to demean or demoralize this coveted post. I will not try to win your vote by pulling some ill-conceived stunt (cough - right after Sherman Cooper took a pie to the face to �show how serious he was about this election�). I believe it is a time to take a big step into the world ahead of us. As one Dan Quayle once said: �We don�t want to go back to tomorrow, we want to go forward.� I beseech you all to vote for me and step ahead, for a vote cast for an opponent will surely be a leap backward. Since the candidate with the most votes usually wins, a vote for me will count toward success; success not only for me, but for the Class of 2002. I leave you with this: An important part of passing is not failing, and I implore you, don�t fail yourselves, vote for me. Thanks. |
| This was a close race indeed, as you probably know, I lost. So they say. I think the powers that be just couldn't handle the thought of me being VP. It's not like i would have done anything... |
