Mark: Okay, campers! Everyone out of the sack on your feet! Ready! Here we go! "I pledge allegiance..." We're back so stop fiddling with that dial! My saddlemate here and I were just observing what genuises we were to pick Bush to win last Tuesday. Tommy, when did you first predict that the nowhere man was going somewhere? Tommy: I guess it was during the New Hampshire primary. Bush started driving trucks on the evening news, and Dole never counterprogrammed. How about yourself? Mark: It was when Bush picked Quayle, the only candidate who could actually enhance his relative stature. It was a master stroke. That's when I knew Bush would go on to take it all! Tommy: Of course, if he didn't, we sure look like jerks right now. Mark: Yeah, but it'd be worth it.
