Kick

This is it, the election's final home stretch. All the work, all the labor, all the effort comes to fruition in just two days. The campaign workers are exhausted, the money has been almost completely spent, and now it comes down to the last hundred yards.

Who has the enthusiam? Who has the drive? Who has the fire?

When describing distance runners, the phrase used for those who have just a little more "want to" in that last frantic phase at the end of the race is "That guy has kick."

Kick, damnit, Kick. The line is just ahead.
