| re .1 Of course its good enough reason to elect him ! It
gives him a positive attribute count of 1, which is 1 more than
the other candidates, right ?

If Babbit did get in, can you imagine the secret service guys swarming
around him on workouts? They would need special bikes with UZI
braze-ons...
There's no need to worry, though. He's the only candidate with
enough huevos to say that the budget won't be balanced without a
tax increase.

I've actually seen this a few years back. VP Bush was out jogging one
morning, and happened by where we were having a club time trial. He had
quite the crew - uniformed police on motorcycles, guys with guns riding
bikes, and some hapless sod in jogging shorts trying to hide a really
massive pistol under his T-shirt :-). Bush stopped to talk to us for a
few minutes, mumbled out some *really* inane garbage, and left....
Despite all the comical guys chase AROUND Bush, the best was the guy
watching their cars - a ***HUGE*** Polynesian chap in a >perfectly<
tailored suit, about the size and disposition of one of the Easter
Island idols.....

| 540.6 | The family that bikes together..... | DOODAH::WIEGLER | | Tue Feb 09 1988 10:52 | 4 |
| I was talking to Bruce Babbitt's wife a few weeks ago and she said
that the first time they were in Iowa was a number of years ago when
they biked across the entire state. She said it sure looks different
from the campaign trail.

| Based upon Reg's response to my comment, I wish, Mr. Moderator,
to nominate our very own Reggie, for President of these United States.
He qualifies:
1. He bikes, albiet downhill all the time.
2. He has a sense of humor, and uses it well.
3. He has a sense of the historical (what DID happen 20 years
ago this May?).
4. He has gone on record as having said, "If it ain't broke,
don't fix it".
I don't know about the rest of you, but Reg is MY man!!...now, where
did I put those bumper stickers?? They were just here a moment
ago....

| 540.8 | Shave that beard, Mr. Burgess! | AMUN::CRITZ | Pavarotti loses 85 | Wed Feb 10 1988 10:26 | 8 |
| However, the last (and only) time I saw Reg, he had a beard
(as do I). The American public is not going to elect a president
with a beard, even if it is Reg 8-) I guess he has to shave
the beard or forget about being president.
Too bad. He could have made a difference.
