The Candidate Page #2

None of us kids

even had a social worker.

How did we do it?

Ladies, excuse me,

but we worked our butts off!

But I tell you this, good people,

that Crocker Jarmon still believes...

...that individuals are

responsible for themselves.

And so does the vast majority

of the American people.

And that's why we're going

to tell Big Brother to get lost!

The solution to welfare

is not more welfare!

It's more enterprise,

more industry, and more jobs.

There are those who

say to industry, don't build...

...don't cut a single tree or you'll

destroy our watershed, and so on...

...but when the time comes

for building, we will build...

...because building means jobs.

And we will find a way

to love Mother Nature...

...and preserve her...

...without going to extremes.

You think I'm mean?

If I am, I've spent the last 18 years

in the Senate being a meanie...

...and, if need be, I will spend

another 18 years working...

...to keep this country

healthy and growing...

...and moving into the future!

You old devil! I wish I could,

but you know, the old ball and chain.

- Harry Rich.

- Harry, how's business?

- Fine!

- Good!

Senator Jarmon,

remember our little Toddy?

Hello there, Toddy.

He's an ugly little cuss!

My daddy thinks you should

run for Vice President.

Get this child to a violin!

Remember me?

Sure! How's the throwing arm?

I'm married!

And rolling.

Today, at 10 o'clock,

I filed the papers to enter my name...

...in the Democratic primary as a

candidate for the U.S. Senate.

Questions?

Why?

Because the incumbent isn't in touch

with how people live, or what they need.

That's what I do as a lawyer

and what I hope to do as a candidate.

How do you feel about welfare?

We subsidize trains, we subsidize

planes. Why not subsidize people?

Busing?

What's your stand on it?

I'm for it.

That's a first!

What about property taxes?

I don't know.

What's your platform?

What "platform"?

Would you move over there

with your office staff?

Sorry. Any other questions?

Why not stand with your staff?

They're not responsible for me.

I dig it! It's raw, but I eat it up.

A lot of work to be done, but I feel

you know where you're going.

I don't.

No, honey.

I told you, five to the party.

One more and we got to use another car

so we blow the whole conversation.

Bill's concerned about our control

over which of your commercials...

...will go on TV.

Luke has worked with me before.

He knows I checked you out too.

The truth is, I like what you stand for.

You've got balls,

or I wouldn't take you on.

So we take my crew,

you do your thing, and that's it.

You get it on with the people.

I'll worry about the cameras.
