"The Election of Dave Barry" Part 0/6
Well, for those of you reading this who don't live in the US, tomorrow (or today by now, I suppose) is the very first step in the American Presidential Election, the Iowa caucuses. This is occurring far sooner than it ever has before because otherwise, Iowa & New Hampshire would have had to forego their quadrennial tradition of screwing with the presidential nomination process. So with that going on, I figure this is as good a time as any for this.
Several years ago, there was a discussion in the newsgroup soc.history.what-if (which is dedicated to alternate history) about who could come up with a way to get the least likely person ever elected President. Since Dave Barry is always offers himself as an alternative (go to his website for details), I wrote this as a blueprint to help achieve Dave's goal. This is an expanded and revised version, BTW. So anyway, here it is. Feedback, as always, is not required but definitely appreciated.
