"Scaring the Competition Away on Canton Street"


It's crunch time. Mayor Wood's campaign is off to the races, but it seems like Henry and Tolleson are yet to clear the opening gates. Our campaign is soaring to the sky while the competition has been left behind in the dust. Well, this is how I see it anyway (God knows what our good 'ole buddy from the Beacon thinks). We interns have even created a scarecrow for the Canton Street Scarecrow Competition "to scare away the competition on Canton Street," as Mayor Wood put it. With the election less than four weeks away, our campaign is now in overdrive. Yard signs are going out in a frenzy, campaign t-shirts and bandanas (yes, I said bandanas) are being distributed, and advertising is in an uproar. With all this happening, there is a debate coming up this weekend; a debate that is very important to Mayor Wood's political capital. It is the East Roswell Forum and it is a debate where candidates get to ask each other questions. East Roswell is place that seems to favor David Tolleson a bit more than Mayor Wood, but we are hoping that might change after they see who the real Mayor Wood is in this debate. This is true politics and with one month remaining, this is when I get to learn the true meaning of what it takes to be a part of a political campaign; a winning one that is.
