Reform Party Follies

October 6, 1999 | Issue 35•36

Among the names being thrown around as potential Reform Party presidential candidates for 2000 are Jesse Ventura, Pat Buchanan, Donald Trump, Cybill Shepherd, Ross Perot and Warren Beatty. What do you think about this wildly diverse assortment of Reform Party presidential hopefuls?

Old Woman

Maxine Nelson,
Dietitian
"In 2000, I'm voting Reform. They have a united, cohesive platform calling for gun control, abortion rights, increased military spending, right to life, and deficit reduction."

Black Man

Steve Doby,
Civil Engineer
"Sure, at this stage in American political history, Cybill Shepherd might seem like a viable presidential candidate. Nevertheless, I'm still voting for Emperor Caligula's horse."

Old Man

Don Walker,
Systems Analyst
"America's two-party political system is a total joke. That's why I've turned to the Reform Party and Patrick Swayze."

Young Man

Jim Ivins,
Plumber
"I dunno who I'm gonna vote for next year. I'm undecided between Pat Buchanan, Jesse Ventura, Goldberg, The Michelin Man, and that actress on that one show about the lady sheriff."

Asian Man

Kris Poule,
Delivery Driver
"I was thinking of running as the Reform Party candidate in the 2000 election, but I realized I have to work that weekend."

Young Woman

Francine Eppard,
Student
"2000 seems like a good year to just stop doing this whole presidential-election thing."
