The campaign is trying to beat back this notion that there's an enthusiasm gap. Its e-campaign director sent out a memo last night claiming: -- Since 12:01 am last night, over 150,000 unique visitors have viewed its website.

While Regan helped build and lead a country wide conservative movement before wining the presidency, I have always been the first out the door when 5:00 rolls around and its time go home after a long day of doing nothing in Senate. I have played a number of crooked politicians on TV; you should see me in distinguished gentleman with Eddie Murphy. If elected to the presidency I promise to play the part of that corrupt politician better than anyone else.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mitt Romney: I am tall, I have a great smile, and most importantly I have the best hair of any politician in decades. Other than that I really don’t have much to offer. Though I am fully capable of reciting meaningless platitudes like “I am for success” and the ever powerful “I will support learning.” However I am a member of a cult, but even so, right wing religious types will still like me because my cult is very anti gay and anti abortion.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Rudy Giuliani: I am running for the republican nomination even though I favor many socialist big government solutions for governing. Republicans will still vote for me though because I am a hard core patriotic nationalist that promises to mercilessly hammer down on anyone perceived to be criminal and I will never hesitate to inject our military might around the world.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That reminds me, who was that guy again who ran for about 50 years ago. At the time the country was bitterly divided between the hard core communists on the left and ultra conservatives on the right. The guy won the nomination by scooping up all the votes from folks in the middle that happened to like his socialist ideas but also admired his strong nationalist willingness to fight and never bow down to the soviets like many on the left were doing. If I remember correctly now, his political party was called the Nationalist Socialist Party, yep that was it. Though I guess it was more popularly know by its acronym the Nazis. Oh yea hitler, how could I forget.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hillary: vote for me because my husband was president once. (Even though he has not been real husband for 20 years and I hardly know the man. Monica or Jenifer flowers may have had more luck picking up his presidential traits)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama: I have no experience what so ever, but I can say the phrase “I am for change” a hundred times without offering any hint to what changes I would make. (Unless of course if you think changing the color of the president’s skin is the sole type of change that can solve every problem form terrorism, Iraq, to health care, to social security failure, to poverty and the economy.)&lt;br&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
