The Race For President

Despite all the pressure, and the fact that you don't have much time, you take a stand, and refuse to allow that money-hungry, son-of-a-crazed-balloonist Steve Forbes to be your running mate. Not knowing of any rule that says when you have to pick a running mate, you decide to start your campaign without one. You travel from state to state campaigning, while in the meantime meeting with some Republican senators and governors who are potential vice president material. Although you are finding it extremely difficult to find a running mate, your campaign is still going quite well. A lot of Americans like you, and this is shown by the fact that you only trail Clinton in the polls by just five percentage points. You just need one thing to vault you over the top, and that, obviously, is a good running mate.
Just as you begin to get really desperate, and consider placing a want ad, you get a phone call. It's former Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff, Colin Powell. He says he really likes you, and, since he's been bored lately, he wants to be your running mate. This is one decision you definitely don't have to think about.
With Powell as your running mate, you bolt ahead of Clinton in the polls. All the top political journalists are predicting you as the next president. When Election Day comes, they are proven correct.

Congratulations, you did it! You won the election, and in January you will be inaugurated as the President of the United States of America, Commander in Chief, and leader of the free world. As for how you do as president... that's a whole different story.
