Gooseberry's Other Election Insights

Last week's elections had a few very bright spot that have gone virtually unnoticed by the national press.

One of the brightest came when Loveland Democrat incumbent Bob Bacon soundly defeated his Republican challenger Matt Fries.

You have to wonder why they even took this one to the polls. Any guy worth his cholesterol could have told you Bacon always beats Fries.


Another high point was the election of Cynthia Lummis as the next US Representative from Wyoming. Cynthia replaces Barbara Cubin who is retiring after a long and illustrious career in the US Congress.

US Senator Mike Enzi, also from Wyoming, set a new record by getting 76% of the vote.

Tuesday marked another high point. I was able to confirm that fried pork rinds still go great with chocolate milk (a substance that Runners World magazine reports gives runners even more energy than sports drinks -- that is the chocolate milk not the pork rinds).
