Before throwing your support behind your square-jawed friend, I'd ask him to reveal his deepest darkest secret to you. We all have them, it'd be good to know what it was before hand. Actually, what am I saying. Apparently you can take hundreds of thousands of dollars from special interest groups, cheat on your dying wife while lambasting someone else for cheating on their healthy wife and still get to become the front runner.

I think it would be a brilliant maneuver politically. Your friend could run as the "Restore the Right" movement "Celebrating intellect" Alex P. Keaton style! Remember when being a republican meant you were of the elite, upper echelon, well educated class? Now it's the "don't touch my guns, anti-intellectual, bible thumping, constitution humping party brought to you by evangelical morons".

I miss Alex P. Keaton's version.

Good luck, let me know
