Ladies and Gentlemen
May I present to you
A candidate whose methods
Are tried and true
A man in whom
You'll find no fault
That man is
The one and only wayoutwalt

In a log cabin
Born 80 years ago
His love of politics
Began to show
When he got the
Babies, left and right
To work with the parents
And sleep through the night

When he was 10
He got school lunch reform
By making sure that
The hot dogs were always warm
And when he was 15
He was called "great"
When his parents finally
Let him stay out late

Computers in every home
And smokes in every room
These are the needs
That very large loom
There's so much more
That I could tell
But there's no room
So, let's give a yell!

"If with the others
You find fault
Then cast your vote
For wayoutwalt!

I would vote for wayoutwalt as White House Jester thats the best I could do.

WOW... most likely candidate to take the popular AND EC vote...the first time 'round, with no re-counts...

Anyone know the score yet?  I mean, besides Walt?

ROFL  

Wow, when I thought of this idea, I didn't know that it would be taken so well!!  

Walt, who would have thought that it would work!!  You're in buddy!!  (that is, if the Palm Beach County, Florida chapter of Passions can learn to read a ballot!!) LOL  

Latest info is that Bush tried to get Walt to concede, but because of the mess in Florida, Walt has refused. . . and we still hold hopes that he'll get most of the Nader vote!  

LOL  This has been a lot of fun. . .thanks to everyone that replied, especially you inot2B. . . Now there's someone who's example we can follow!!  Stuff away my friend. . . a vote for WOW is a vote for the party!!!
