The state of Texas does love her football, but fans and players alike are decrying this region's experiment with a year-round football season.

“Petrelli’s just head and shoulders above the other candidates,” said veteran political consultant Bruno Gianelli, best known for managing the successful re-election campaign of former President Jed Bartlet. “This kid’s sharp. Don’t think for a minute that he’s got his head in the clouds.”

Indeed, Petrelli seems nearly invincible; allegations of extramarital affairs and ties to Las Vegas’s notorious Linderman Group, denied by the candidate, have refused to stick to the dashing, handsome military veteran. And opinion polls show increased public support following Mr. Petrelli’s efforts to assist his emotionally troubled younger brother, Peter.

“I predict an explosive finish to this year’s race,” Gianelli said of Petrelli’s chances to ascend to Congress. “With this guy in the running, I think nothing short of a nuclear bomb could stop him from winning.”
