...white-picket fences. With such stability in their lives, what could yupsters possibly have to be all worked up about or dissatisfied with? Well, precisely that: stability. As Brad Pitt's character Tyler Durden mentions in Fight Club, thirty-somethings are the "middle children of history:" forgotten in the shadow of those who come before and after them. Yuppies are expected to make it through somehow, become an accountant, and show up for Thanksgiving with a crock-pot or two of mashed potatoes as bland and frothy as their own lives.

Awash in debt, his campaign has struggled not only with financial issues but also what could politely be called a credibility gap ? the shadow of Quayle?s infamous "potatoe" gaffe and his talent for the non-sequitur ("Had I known I was going to Latin America, I would have studied up on my Latin.") In bowing out, he bestows upon the rest of the GOP pack ? aside from Steve Forbes ? the privilege of mortgaging...
