For immediate release:
"Voters should assume that I come from our own hemisphere": Yet another slip from the semantically-challenged Texas
Governor during the presidential debate? Did the Vice President actually say: "My plan has a few Democrats in the world to
choose their own money"? Those were indeed their words - but not exactly in that order.
With the "Debate-monger", Bush and Gore enjoy another "good, lively exchange" at www.jackiestrike.com. "Let me bla-bla",
says Gore-monger, stage left. "Let me bla-bla, too", insists Bush-monger from stage right. In the moderator's chair, the
user decides whose turn it is to speak, and who gets a rebuttal. At the click of a mouse, "Phrase-monger" software randomly
monges phrases, spitting out re-hashed political rhetoric.
"Phrasemonger's bla-bla-base is loaded with a full metal transcript of the first debate, and will be expanded following each
event", comments Jackie Strike, virtual presidential candidate. Although not invited to take part in the live TV debates,
Jackie is hosting the "Debate-monger" forum at www.jackiestrike.com. In all, there will be three strikes of the latest tech
feature at Strike's virtual campaign headquarters.
Featuring Internet technologies such as Phrase-monger, jackiestrike.com draws a fine line between virtual and reality.
Site visitors can talk one-on-one with the interactive 3-D candidate. As the digital answer to your everyday politician,
Jackie is the first pol to respond directly to each citizen's questions and concerns 24 hours a day. The candidate's
self-proclaimed mission is to make politics interesting and fun. Jackie offers a multi-partisan perspective on Election
2000 with features such as Web Tours, which guide citizens to the various views of the issues on the Net.
Regardless of political orientation, anyone can become Jackie's vice-presidential running mate by volunteering for the
Strike campaign. Where does Jackie get her own political ideas? You guessed it: Phrasemonger. The software has dredged
the oratorical archives of Bush, Gore, Clinton, JFK and even quotes from the Declaration of Independence. Jackie's "views"
are online at www.jackiestrike.com/speeches.
For a contorted gist of the Bush and Gore views, give Debate-monger a go. "I may not be the most exciting politician,
but I know we're not supposed to ask each other questions", says Gore-monger. "Well, I've been a good, lively exchange",
counters Bush-monger, and closes with a perhaps fitting commentary on the candidates' TV debates: "We need to be more rare
in America".

of the issues on her Web Tours. In Speeches, Jackie generates political speak at the click of a mouse, randomly quoting
Bush, Gore and even JFK, MLK and the Declaration of Independence. Strike's motivation is to involve people in politics
online, promoting the democratic power, influence and participation of each individual via the Internet. Jackie is for
those who don't want to just read static political discourse, but see it, hear it, and feel it. In addition to
