Hope the guy didn't put too much effort in his campaign...


Candidate gets no votes -- but he voted for himself

WALDENBURG, Arkansas (AP) -- Randy Wooten figured he would get at least one vote in his bid for mayor of this town of 80 people -- even if it was just his own.

He did not. Now he has to decide whether to file a formal protest.

Wooten got the news from his wife, Roxanne, who went to City Hall on Wednesday to see the election results.

"She saw my name with zero votes by it. She came home and asked me if I had voted for myself or not. I told her I did," said Wooten, owner of a local bar.

However, Poinsett County results reported Wednesday showed incumbent William H. Wood with 18 votes, challenger Ronnie Chatman with 18 votes and Wooten with zero.

"I had at least eight or nine people who said they voted for me, so something is wrong with this picture," Wooten said.

Poinsett County Election Commissioner Junaway Payne said the issue had been discussed but no action taken yet.

"It's our understanding from talking with the secretary of state's office that a court order would have to be obtained in order to open the machine and check the totals," Payne said. "The votes were cast on an electronic voting machine, but paper ballots were available."

A November 28 runoff is scheduled to decide the mayor's race.

"It's just very hard to understand," Wooten said.

Swimming: American TV channel NBC has managed to force the IOC to hold the swimming finals in Beijing in 2008 in the mornings so they can be broadcasted live on American prime time TV. It is the first time in history swimming finals in major international tournaments are not held in the evenings of the host location's timezone. Swimming organisations and fans all over the world have protested, saying finals in the early morning after heats late at night followed by obligatory drug tests will have a negative effect on the achievements of the swimmers, to the disadvantage of the sport.

Here's to hoping the US never get any bigger in the world of football :pint:
Unfucking believable

amen to that :pint:

I KNEW IT ALL ALONG !!!:p

LOL :D

After being terrorized every day as a child, I laugh at these dip shits being called terrorists today. If Bush wants to win a war, he should just lock a few enemy combatants in a room with my brother. Game, set, and match.

sounds like we had a similar childhood...my brother is 7 years older than me, so lets just say I took it on the chin a few times when I was young.....however, payback is a real bitch !!!:eyebrows:


I think he needs to let some bloods or crips loose.
