Well, seems to me Gary Hart's prospects are looking up. Bush seems to have won the battle, but what about the war?

"Our campaign is failing, plain and simple. We need to bring out the big guns."
"Someone to help us win the midwest. We need power there."
"Hey, how about?.."
"No, he can't, not after 1980."
"Yeah, but he also got 12% in the primaries that year."
"Alright, put him on, this campaign needs a boost."

In a special CNN announcement, we can now announce that Presidential Candidate and Senator Dan Quayle is currently campaigning with Senatorial Candidate and former Lieutenant Colonel Bo Gritz in Nevada.
Nevada is becoming an important state for the Quayle campaign and for conservative Republicans everywhere, as Populist Republican Bo Gritz is gaining in polls, and he could very well be the next senator from Nevada.
Gritz called Quayle "A chance to free the American People from the establishment that holds our hand in chains."
The Nevada Caucus will commence tomorrow, February 18th.
