What it’s about. Hugh Hathaway was captain of the high school football team when Aggie Snow first went giddy over him. Now, he's a successful senator running for president and she's an award-winning children's author. They may clash on some political issues, but they can agree on one thing: they're falling in love. Aggie isn't sure she's ready to become anyone's first lady, let alone the country's but she's soon seduced by the smiling senator and introduced as his bride-to-be to the nation. Unfortunately for the White House hopefuls, someone has film footage of Aggie from the Nixon Years, showing her in a series of compromising positions which could compromise Hugh's chances of winning. Will the two running mates ruin into in a brick wall — or will love conquer all before election day?
