If you haven't read the novel, Kip Chalmers has never been to California. But that doesn't deter him from deciding he wants to run for Senate from the place. He surrounds himself with sycophants and is confident that his friends among the power brokers will see that he gets elected.
En route to California the train Chalmers and his entourage are on derails. He insists that another train be made ready to carry him on.
It does not end well.
Some Georgia FReepers or others should make up signs saying “Jon Ossoff is Kip Chalmers.”
well... somebody’s gotta do it!
If he’s a democrat then he is in appropriate company to be lying... his Ossoff!
