In what was a very hotly contested and closely watched race, the election was called for The Rain at about 9:20 pm on September 6th.
Had another candidate actually emerged victorious, they might have “Blamed it on The Rain”, but alas, The Rain reigned. Unofficial results showed The Rain winning by a margin of some 150 votes. Not exactly a landslide, but certainly enough for some local flooding, to say the least.
While the opposition won’t be singing in The Rain anytime soon, they did call to congratulate the Rain on its triumph.
“I want to thank all those who worked so hard on this campaign,” said the Rain just before the clouds dissipated. “When the doubters said we were all wet, we proved them wrong!
It’s all too easy to forget that this was only the primary. Now it’s on to the general election in November, but the newly minted nominee is confident. “I feel right as, well rain,” said the candidate. This should be no problem as there is no opponent.
Campaign cash has all but dried up, but with election in November all but guaranteed, supporters are not going to have to pony up again and make it rain. They can save their money for a rainy day.
For now, rest assured that democracy prevailed. Let freedom…rain?
