I'm so torn about who to vote for.  I just cannot decide between the two female candidates.  I like Pelagia but I also like that Karol Franks.  It's gonna be a coin toss for me I'm afraid.

O'Karol, you are always a step ahead of me.  I'm not sure I have a real chance running against such an able opponent.

Twirl, are you kidding us!!!!!!  You will be head cheerleader and PR personality extraordinaire.  The excitement of the convention will energize you and if not, we can turn to drugs.  We all have vast experience with those.

Sluff would, but that foot long weapon of his might be a bit of a liability on the campaign trail.

I feel confident that I can speak for Karol and say that we both feel that Boxman would be excellent for the Secret Service position.

Now who else wants to be part of this administration?

Flip, I keep thinking White House Executive Chef for you, or possibly Ambassador to Russia?

I would like to have Twirl as my assistant cabinet member as the head of education.

Less testing!
More letting teachers TEACH!
Make parents more responsible for kids grades!
