Show 10 WEDNESDAY, THE DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE FEBRUARY 28, 2001 t of the Lmn. ALEX A LEE Chronicle Feature Columnist cans were on this inclusiveness plank, and I knew minorities were been busy volunteering for a Republican election campaign. The only way I was going to see her in the near future, she said, was to come to Utah's Republican headquarters on election night and watch the returns with her. Nichole had tested me before-dragme to chamber music ensembles and forcing me to watch movies like "You've Got Mail," but she had never gone this far before. Now, I'm no bleeding heart liberal, but the idea of an evening with a mob of Utah Republicans didn't excite me. Also, I knew the Republi hard to come by in this town. I think there were ulterior motives behind this invitation. I am just a middle-claguy, I told her. I only hope someday to make enough money to be a Republican. Besides, what would I tell my friends? I begged her not to do this to me. "There'll be food there," she tried sweetening the deal. "If you get bored, the Democrats are across the street. They might have drinks there." An exit strategy. It's a deal. The Hilton Ballroom had several ss ging he year 2000 was a year I would like to forget. It's not 7 because the NASDAQfeil 50 percent, or because of the election fiasco.

Hill Republicans had won most of the statewide elections. Feeling smug, she was confident about George W. stages set up by the local network news teams. Bright lights and TV screens were everywhere, and reporters and supporters were hounding each candidate. As the returns came in, people were cheering or jeering enthusiastically. The whole thing resembled a sporting event People were fervently supporting people they didn't know at all, and the media was fighting to get to the hero of the moment To an outsider like me it all looked a little silly, Likewise, I'm sure sport fans look a lot more ridiculous to people Bush's chances. I have faith in democracy, I told her. Given the choice of a smart guy and a dumb guy, I'm sure the American public will come to the obvious conclusion. She iiked to remind me that it is Gore who dropped out of college. Nichole disappeared again for more volunteers. It was and had enough. The I'd late, getting fans were savordiehard screaming who will out find I'll the moment, ing ss who are not involved in sports. Nichole was busy, so I talked to another campaign volunteer there. She said she hadn't been promised a be president tomorrow morning, I thought At least the situation made it easy to pick my New Year's resolutions for 2001: No more conservative woman, and I would sell my soul only for sex, not just the prospect of cabinet position after the election. After her candidate sealed his victory, she said she is going to hang out in his suite. This was more like the jock scene than I had thought Nichole finally rejoined me.
