To all los Guapistos,

This campaign reminds me of the 1999 pennant race.  Each team was excellent and if not for a legendary turn by Pedro, we would have lost to the Indians.  As it turns out, we lost to the dreaded Yankees.  Everyone remembers that bad call on Offerman at second base that sent the fans into a frenzy.  (By the way, I was reading the book "How to Talk to a Yankee Fan" on my flight down here to Venezuela and laughing all the way.  It really is very funny.)

But my point is that each of the teams was worthy of winning the World Series and it came down only to one or two close plays.  My opponents and I all speak with great ideas.  There is not a clear victor.  Like the American League East, this race will come down to the wire. 

Think of what you want in a president.  I bring optimism, determination, intensity, unselfishness, and friendliness to the table.  If you’ve ever seen me on the mound, you have seen that I cannot be rattled.  I am up for any challenge.

I shall bring Red Sox Nation closer to the team than they have been before.  It will make the experience of being a Red Sox fan that much better.

Enjoy the final week of the campaign!

Mucho gusto,

El Guapo
