(Enters, and gives fiancee kiss on the cheek. Takes podium, waves to crowd)

Ladies and gentlemen... How sweet it is to be right here... In Atlanta, Georgia! (Cheers at the cheap pop) My fellow Atlasians, I'm here today to drum up support for the Presidential ticket of my good friend Al, and myself. I don't know who all of you plan to support this coming election, but I am here to ask you to consider our ticket. Al has proven many times to be one of the most active and energetic Atlasians. He and I would like to steer the executive branch, not in a liberal direction, but in the direction of honest, positive change.

We've seen a huge drop in voter turnout, and Atlasian activity. We've seen a stagnant economy. We've seen almost bi-monthly rebellions. We've seen families devastated in the Southeast, the Northeast, the West, and the Midwest... If elected, Al and I will do all we can to right the wrongs that have taken place.

Y'know, in travelling with my fiancee, Summer, through Atlasia, I've met some great people. I've met single mothers, and single fathers. I've seen many middle and working class folks struggling to put food on the table for their families. I pledge myself to do all I can to help you... Al pledges to do all he can to help you! To the people of Atlanta, the Southeast, and all of Atlasia, we pledge to you a tireless effort to improve the economy and morale of Atlasians everywhere!

Ladies and gentlemen, the doctor is in, and Al and I pledge to do all we can to heal what ails Atlasia!

Thank you, Atlanta, and please get out the vote.

(Cheers from the crowd, as he leaves the podium with his fiancee to pose for pictures, and meet with the crowd)

cheap pop? No! Unless some Yankee brought some Pepsi down here...it's called "Coke" and it's the real thing.

Now that we've got that straight, welcome and good luck!

The term "Cheap Pop" means that when someone famous mentions the name of the town or city, the crowd usually cheers... Thanks for the welcome again, but in Pittsburgh, it's all called "pop" lol. Coke, Pepsi, everything, lol.

"Cheap pop" is just some of my tongue and cheek humor... If you haven't heard of Mick Foley, I suggest you look him up or watch an episode of WWE Raw... You'll get it, lol.

Thanks for the welcome though... The south and it's inhabitants have been most agreeable.

You should have tried for some cheap heat instead, just to be different.  It'd be just plain stupid for a politician to get the city du jour wrong, but ragging on the Braves for not making the playoffs this year would have generated some respectable tweener heat.

I dunno Ernest... I enjoy playing the face role... Especially in the South, because I'm a bit more liberal... But hey, whatever works.

I can't really rag on the Braves, because it was them that beat my hometown Pirates to go to the World Series... The Pirates haven't had a winning record since... So I've had some deep seeded dislike for the Braves since I was like four.
