Running elections in Montana is no game.
It just sounds like one sometimes when Brad Johnson is running the show.
Brad Johnson hailed a recent elections audit as a victory, because of the audit's finding that there was no evidence that dead individuals or incarcerated felons had been able to vote illegally
Johnson sure has a funny idea of what victory means. The audit is an obvious criticism of the failures of his office and a refute of his claims that same day voter registration increased 'fraud'. The audit is a clear indication that Johnson "fumbled" the 2006 election.
So, since sports are a metaphor for life. So we're having a contest for the best sports metaphor that describes how Johnson bungled the 2006 elections in Montana. The winner receives $100 and of course, fame and glory.
Example: Johnson saying the fact that no dead people or felons voting was a "victory" is like a coach saying "You know, we lost every game this season, but we kept the uniforms clean.
You, the reader, submit your metahpor to us. A select panel of completely impartial judges will select the winner. Entry must be received by Friday, August 24, 2007 by 10:00a.m. MST. Any U.S. resident age eighteen or older can enter (exclucing of course dead individuals or incarcerated felons).
Send your sports metaphors in an email info@mtdemocrats.net with "Sports metaphor contest" in the subject line if you want to play. Entries should include the name, address, and phone number of the contest participant. Email submissions only, please. You may enter as many metaphors as you like.
