Sometimes I fear for the fate of this country...I think all you need to win president of the US of A is to rename yourself Pedro, and you've already won without trying due to the amount of idiots outnumbering people with some care in the world. Fortunately and unfortunately I think voting for Pedro is the only way to get young Americans to vote.
Time to end my rant on society...

On the contrary, I think this is pretty cool. The little guy winning in a popularity contest is awesome. The guy probably didn't need anymore college credentials if he was an overachiever. So what his name was Pedro, he just used some common phrase. If my name were Ike and I ran for SGA then I would definitely use the "I like Ike" phrase.
