01 / THE STORY
Tom Dobbs is host of a news satire, where he taps into people's frustrations with the sharply divided, Special Interest Group-driven political climate. When an audience member suggests that he run for president, Dobbs laughs it off, but following an online groundswell of support, he announces on air that he will stand as a candidate. He gets on the ballot in 13 states and participates in one of the national debates with the Democratic incumbent, President Kellogg, and Republican candidate, Senator Mills.
