- Well, as you might imagine, you are not the first person to
- ask me this question. The first person to do so was me, right after
- I got the notice from the Sec of State confirming that I was on the
- ballot.
- Well, the first thing I would have done, would be to fall down.
- After getting back up, I prolly call ex-Rep Kiki Saavedra and gloat a
- bit that he was so pathetic that he couldn't even win an election against
- a guy that hardly campained.
-
- Then I would chuckle insanely for a while and dance a bit.
-
- Then, I would go down to school and explain to my professors that I would
- need to be out of class for a few weeks during the legislative session.
-
- Then off to my boss to explain the same thing.
-
- Then we'd have hopped into the MonterBaldwinTruck and headed to Santa
- Fe to pass some pointless legislations and stuff like that. Ya know,
- the normal legislative BS.
-
- But this time, there'd be a difference! I'd have gotten to
- write up bills abolishing huge portions of the government. They'd
- get shot down in committee, but then people would know where I
- stood. After 2 years of voting against every spending and tax measure
- in sight, I'd probably get voted out of office and go back to my
- normal life.
-
- But maybe not. Maybe, just maybe, I might convince the people
- in my district that all these taxes are for the birds. Then I would
- run for US House, then Senate. After a brief career in the Senate,
- I would come back to run for Governor. After building NM up to have
- one of the highest standards of living in the nation. I'd be ready
- for the White House. I can just see it now. Baldwin in '28!
-
- Peeve: I lost the first election, so the country will just have to do
- without President Baldwin.
