Re: Hal Jordan almost won something!

Wow. Which game did he almost win in? Horseshoes, hand-grenades, losing hair pre-maturely or trying to get the people that know him best to vote for him in a local election against a really bad guy?
Who is the pre-maturely bald guy Alex?
I wish I could say Hal would come in 7th in a 5-man primary, but they keep coming out of the woodwork, so I have no idea how bad he's going to lose this time.
Have you heard about the old retired Colonel that got swamped by some lady named Maggie Dickson in his last run for public office? I hear the NRCC won't give anyone like Hal the time of day now. This Colonel guy who lost his last election, was a COLONEL!
And we all know those grunt voters and veterans that live near Fort Bragg love Colonels. Retired Colonel's really get it!
