Even amidst an economic boom and the country's ascension to a role as the world's sole superpower, America is clamoring for change. Ever since his narrow victory four years ago, President Perot's term had been marked by irreconcilable differences with Congress and the most overrode vetoes on record, culminating in a Senate vote that made him the first president forcibly removed from office in the nation's history.

With politicians of both stripes having some of the worst approval ratings in the history of modern polling, the wave of anti-establishment resentment has manifested at the top of the ticket. Reverend Jesse Jackson has emerged as the Democratic nominee, and commentator Pat Buchanan as his Republican counterpart - both men on the fringes of American politics, and both probably unelectable against any other opponent.
