I'm Running Too

A lot of citizens--O.K., this kid I know--asked me why I'm declaring my candidacy in this magazine when the leaders I'm following have announced theirs on glitzy websites. Well, the painful truth is, the spot I wanted, Amazon.com was already taken--by a special-interest group, no doubt. When I'm President, you can depend on me to roll up my sleeves and do something about that.

How else am I qualified? When I was a little girl, I dreamed of becoming President. Or maybe I just dreamed that I was President. When I am President, I vow to write down my dreams so that we will never again have this confusion.

Oh, and what do you want to eat at the Inaugural Ball? I vote for lobster or steak, as nothing is too good for the American people. We're going to have a salad course too.

In summary, let me make this clear: If you decide to support me and end up voting for someone else, let me know. I promise that I will follow suit quicker than anyone else in the race.

So, won't you vote for Patty? She may not be the one, but you can't say she's not one of many.
