His campaign speeches are rambling mixtures of anecdote and issue, delivered in the disarmingly earnest tone of an idealistic outsider. And like an outsider he rails against the corrupting influence of big money on politics. "We have a chance to show that a campaign doesn't have to be about who can put $15 million in the bank and who can hire the best negative advertising firm," he declares.

"I feel good!" Another girl waves her hand wildly from the back of the room. "Mr. Dula! Mr. Dula...
...Kids cartoon series, he's going to be in the New Kids comic books. So it's built in. People are going to think I'm a genius. But it doesn't take a genius to see what the marketing potential is." There must, inevitably, be a Biscuit T shirt. Perhaps even a Biscuit biscuit. Maybe Bart Simpson could be persuaded to do an endorsement. One good profit center deserves another...
