"In a shocker of a press conference, former Presidential candidate Steve Forbes is announcing his intention to run for the presidency as an independent with the intent of founding a new party. He has selected former NFL player and former congressman Jack Kemp as his running mate. GOP presidential Pat Buchanan has not yet responded to this announcement. President Clinton has stated "he would be happy to have the pair in the debates" also Reform Party candidate Ross Perot has stated his intention to step aside and has endorsed the Forbes/Kemp ticket."
Wel, I have to admit that took me by suprise. I was a Forbes supporter in the primaries and am one now as well, Buchanan's protctionism and xenophobia just run the wrong way with me. I hope Forbes/Kemp makes it to Penn. Avenue. So what do you gus think this will do to the race?
