-				<p>I'm in your walls.</p>
+				<p>I grew up in South Dakota, and early in my working career was a
+				pharmacist at my father's store. But deep in my heart, my true passion
+				was politics. Pretty soon I went back to school and earned a bachelor's
+				from the University of Minnesota, and a master's from LSU, both in
+				political science.</p>
+
+				<p>I then returned to U of M, planning to earn a doctorate and become a
+				professor, but life had other plans. I married my wife of 43 years and
+				raised four children. I ended up heavily involved in Minneapolis
+				politcs and served as mayor for four years. </p>
+
+				<p>After this, I was elected to the United States Senate. I was the
+				leader of several important initiatives, and eventually was tapped to
+				be my party's vice presidential nominee. We then cruised to victory in
+				the general election.</p>
+
+				<p>However, largely due to the public's disdain for the bloodshed in
+				Vietnam, my running mate did not seek re-election. I then launched my
+				own campaign, and was able to secure the party's nomination, but the
+				war hung around my neck like an albatross. I ended up losing the
+				election to Richard M. Nixon. Afterwards I returned to the Senate and
+				served until my death in 1978.</p>
