Anyway, I think it will be a very close freestyle race, complete with spitting in each other&#39;s lane, reaching over the lane line to tug each other&#39;s suit down and suchlike. Kerry would have a slight lead with barely a meter to go, but Nader jumps onto his back and slows him down just enough for Bush to squeak through. There is then a vigorous official protest which is handed over to the Romanian judge who awards the race to the latest bloomer.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/15883?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 15 Jun 2004 10:25:39 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:0e1dbecd-0764-4828-bede-fe746a87e81caquageekI would imagine flip turns would be key to Kerry&#39;s race.

Bush would drill for oil in the deep end and all the water would drain out before the race could be completed :) Ironically, Kerry would have supported Bush in the drilling until the water was all gone.
