"Cautiously optimistic but embattled Republicans are assembling in New York today for a national convention they hope will offer enough bounce to give President Bush a second term."

If the GOP is looking for some bounce, they should just ask Britney Spears to chew some wads of pink bubble gum and then to throw pieces of it to the delegates of the Convention.

Some of the delegates were wondering whether they really wanted to go to NYC: after all, they'd have to face traffic gridlock, hot subways, and then on top of that there will be a number of protesters (There's something about NYC that brings out the protester in a person).

The delegates were giving careful consideration to all the possible obstacles, *but* then word came out that Britney Spears might be coming to the Convention. As far as the delegates were concerned, Britney's appearance would make the Convention worthwhile.

Why would Britney show up? Britney is looking for juicy tax credits and some gum.

There's a rumor that Topps Candy & Gum just might give Britney some Bazooka Bubble Gum to blow. Wow, that will really instill a sense of excitement. If Britney will be blowing bubbles, tell the delegates to be upbeat but to be cautious & watch where they step.
