Beer is American 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.

Beer Pong Lobby? 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!
