I’ve been able to answer every letter, even some pretty crazy ones proposing marriage, but I can’t figure out what to tell this one fan. I bite my lip, and I think about the letter from a young boy. His gaze only passes me, but it definitely connects, and for that second, suddenly I’m eleven again, awed and confused by the effect he has. He raises his gaze and sweeps it across everyone, meeting each and every gaze. His unreadable expression seems to make everyone in the room shift nervously. I want to speak up, give a suggestion, but the silence is intimidating. Matt looks exasperated, running his fingers through his dark hair and rubbing his knuckles across the slight stubble on his chin. However, the campaign has yet to come up with a real campaign strategy to bring Matt’s ideas for change to the public. The basics have been nailed down by Carlisle, who said simply that the efforts of the campaign should center around Matt’s strengths: his father’s successful presidency and his incredible popularity as president, Matt’s popularity among the people (especially those ready for real change), and Matt’s singleness.
Matt’s creative design and marketing people have been pitching ideas, hoping to answer the big question on the docket for the day: “How should we market Matt’s campaign?” Today, we’re all sitting at Matt’s round table, and the tension in palpable. On the other hand, the leading Republican candidate is so radical and people are so sick of things, he’s gaining traction too.įrom one fundraising political event to the next, Matt is fielding two hundred to five hundred speaking invitations a week. Primaries aren’t over until a few months from now, but I can already tell that his most formidable adversary will be the current president. The effect this is having on women voters is almost naughty. “I’ve got to say, the way Matthew Hamilton is representing America, it feels good to be American again,” a TV news anchor jokes with her male co-anchor the same evening.
Hewitt, Matt’s campaign press manager, is quoted during the week: “Matt Hamilton’s sole obligation is to you, the United States of America. Carlisle the campaign manager is hectically getting new slogans to be produced. I have a wife”-his lips curl higher-“and her name is the United States of America.” “The term and official role as First Lady wasn’t even properly coined when Lady Washington served in Mount Vernon during George Washington’s office. “I find it laughable that President Jacobs believes a single, independent man cannot effectively run the country.” He looks at the camera soberly, with a light smile on his lips and those strong but playful dark brown eyes lasering in on the camera lens.
