For the first time in recorded Goosebury history, we feel unable to predict a winner. Our townsfolk are so divided on the candidates that we have been thrown in a tizzy. Oh, we did have a winner. But it wasn't Romney, McCain, Hillary, or Obama. They all came in pretty close together.
The actual winner was Jake Offenready, the local barber. Now, I know that Jake wasn't on any of the state's ballots, but the townsfolk really like Jake and they often rely on his wisdom. So they wrote his name in. Yes, he is a college graduate (Goosebury State class of '75) but his down to earth understanding of people, politics, and his wife makes him a most admired man.
Jake will probably not get elected president, but that doesn't matter to most folks. They are tired of the field of candidates thrust upon us by the party bosses and steered down the election road by a media with an agenda. They just want a person they can trust and even if he isn't elected President. At least they know that they voted for the best man.
So, I guess that whoever is elected, we will support him or her, but dang it, why can't a guy like Jake ever get a shot!
