[FONT=Bradley Hand ITC, cursive]The damn knee keeps acting up, knew I should've gone to the hospital about it. This isn't going to help me in the debate, either. The people want to see a strong leader, and that certainly isn't going to be me, pale and scruffy and sickly from an infected knee. Kennedy is beating me already, and I'm already picking out my faults, if I can't get a miracle recovery, Kennedy will destroy me in the televised debate..[/FONT]
[FONT=Bradley Hand ITC, cursive]I'm worrying myself over nothing, I suppose. Perhaps I should just sleep the thing off and worry about things that need attention.[/FONT]

With Richard Nixon, the Republican Nominee, dead, it turned to the runner up, Nelson Rockefeller, to take the reins of the Republican Party...
“My fellow Republicans and dearest friends, last week, Richard Nixon, the Vice President and Presidential Candidate, died at the age of 53. Although the cause is unknown as of yet, I believe I know the cause. Richard M. Nixon died campaigning for the office of President, to continue to bring prosperity to you and the people of this nation.”
The crowd clapped mournfully with approval.
“Friends, I will take this party's nomination, I will defeat Senator Kennedy, and I will be your next President, come next January! I will honor Vice President Nixon, who died spreading his message of hope and prosperity across this nation!”
-The famous speech given by Nelson Rockefeller, September 2nd, 1960.
