New York Times...July 10, 2004....
Where did they come from? Who are they? What can account for their phenonmenal success?!
We're speaking of course of Presidential Candidate Nate Hades and his running mate Lilith Pandora who seem to riding the crest of a tsunami of popularity surging forth from the American Heartland. Recent polls in the midwest and plains states are now showing the team well ahead of Ralph Nader and approaching double digits in Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and Wisconsin.
And this from candidates literaly unkown a month ago.
Are we seeing a resurgence of the social populism that stirred through america's bread basket states two generations ago? Are middle-class citizens now turning to an unknown factor out of frustration with the two party system?
Is this the end of that system?
We'll know that in November won't we.
In the meantime Hades, Pandora and the new Alternative America Party continue their amazing campaign to rest the White House from the Republicans in the Fall and thoroughly savage the Democrats while doing it. This week the AAP will hold it's convention in New Orleans where it will of course rubber stamp the candidacy of Hades and Pandora. The team will then begin a sweep through the South on their by now famous train nicknamed by pessimistic 'politicos' the Apocalypse Express.
Can they win? Well it's not likely, not in the end game. The American voter when the ballots on the line tends to trust the known not the unknown but it has added another facet to the prism of this years allready vicious campaign.
