"The Republican convention may have boosted Bush's standing, but some credit must go to his website, www.hot-bush.gov."

Black Man

Rob Weatherspoon,

"I usually vote Democrat. On the other hand, that was a lot of confetti they dropped on Bush."

"I was in Philadelphia for RepubCon 2000, and I got this awesome limited-edition Dick Cheney latex mask."

"I just ate breakfast, and I'm now voting for Cap'n Crunch."

Old Man

Richard Baer,

"Politics today are so corrupt. Whoever raises the most money wins. Well, the American people are fed up, and they will make their disgust known by voting either for George W. Bush or Al Gore."
