Here's an actual campaign poster I can't remember the exact year but it was in the middle 80's. Here's the rest of the story. The guys nickname is Ramer, I went to school with him and he also worked where I did at one time. He's was smart as shit but also a high school drop out. He was also one hell of a nice guy. He'd bend over backwards to help you. He loved to drink did his share of drugs back in the day. He lived in town and was always involved in the city council meeting one way or another. One time he got really pissed at one of the members, and told him he was going to run for his seat in the next election. The guy blew him off and said if you think you can handle it why not just run for mayor. Ramer stood up and said thats a good fucking idea, I will. No one took him seriously. Within a week or so Ramer come into the bar one Friday night and asked for help to hang campaign posters. Everyone about fell off the stools when he showed them to us. Everyone though it was a big joke. He really woke the entire town up when he lost buy less than a dozen votes. They went through the recount and the whole 9 yards. I though I'd post this as I ran across the picture today. RIP Ramer
