America is a country that loves a fad from the hula hoop in the 1950’s
to beer pong at every college frat house today. Presidential
Candidates have often tapped into fads to demonstrate that they are
connected to the populace at large. Gabe Newman, 2008 Street Person
of the Year & Write in Candidate for President, is no different in his
desire to tap into the passions of the common man. Yet he knows that
his presidential write in campaign is a long shot and seeks to capture
a younger audience who may rally to his cause for election
revolution. Gabe has tapped into college student’s passion for beer
pong and scored his first corporate contributor.

Beer pong is the game played by the average college student today.
Gone is the required skill of bouncing a quarter into a shot glass;
In is the ability to bounce a ping pong ball into a red plastic cup on
the opposite end of a ping pong table forcing your competitor to
guzzle 12 oz of frosty goodness. Gabe is much like Henry David
Thoreau. Where Thoreau wrote about his life at Walden Pond and man’s
connection with nature to simply life, Gabe seeks to encourage people
to simply life by chucking work and hanging out with friends all day
in public celebrations of brotherhood; and sisterhood because Gabe
really enjoys a room full of co-eds. What better way to reach a group
that understands this message that to talk with frat boys. Gabe seeks
to reach out to college students giving them lessons from his life
lived over games of beer pong.

Pong-a-long, the leading maker of fine Beer Pong tables and
accessories, is always on the lookout for ways to connect with the
college market. Gabe’s is something they were looking for in their
effort to reach out to college age males. Well, not really they would
prefer a really hot sorority girl but Gabe will do just fine because
nothing is going to generate press like a Presidential candidate
playing beer pong. To demonstrate how their product and the game is
part of the American culture, plus to maximize their marketing
opportunity, Pong-a-long provide Street-people.com with one of their
quality tables to aid Gabe in his effort to raise funds for his
presidential campaign making Pong-a-long an official supporter of
Gabe’s Presidential campaign. In exchange for their support Gabe has
pledge that once he is president Beer Pong will be an officially
recognized college sport. It is not a promise that he can really
deliver on but no one has pointed out that universal health care has
yet to be delivered by any candidate who has promised it. So, there
it is. A vote for Gabe is a vote for beer pong!
