Support from the Right Bolsters Campaign

An unexpected comment from a prominent right wing politician has bolstered the Jay Leno for President campaign and may become the catalyst for cross-over support from the right.

"It's possible, just possible, that Jay Leno could garner support from the right wings of both the Republican and Democratic parties," said the politician, who refused to be identified during his call into a popular AM radio talk show. "If he takes the edge off the abortion and gun control jokes in his monologue, he could really sway lots of the right wing faithful to his campaign."

Jay Leno for President campaign officials were surprised by the comment, especially from such a well-known leader of the right. Though they're not sure exactly who it is, most believe it is someone pretty important.

According to campaign chairman, Howard Lester, "We've analyzed the voice over and over, and we've got it narrowed down to a few likely people. But until we know for certain, we'll just assume that whoever it is knows what he's talking about and is simply expressing the sentiment shared by everyone on the right. In any case, it's a great boost for the campaign and should be helpful in convincing Jay that support for him is strong, so he needs to declare his candidacy as soon as possible."

To date, Jay Leno has not acknowledged that he's running for president, nor has he contacted the Jay Leno for President campaign to endorse it's efforts. That fact, however, has not dampened the unbridled enthusiasm of his supporters. Said one eager grassrooter, "I'll like Jay whether he let's us draft him for president or not. But, like, he'd really make a good president, you know?"

Campaign organizers are confident that prominent support from the left will be forthcoming in the next few weeks.
