If Senatorial elections were held today, September 25, 2011, in Maryland County, the southeastern keyhole of the Republic of Liberia, James Norman Anderson, affectionately known as “Small Jimmy” who is running for the office of Junior Senator of Maryland County, will surely be the winner by wide marging. No doubt in the minds of the voters and everyone else who is objective.
The numbers engulfing his camp are astronomically growing by the day. Citizens from far and nearby villages, towns, shanty towns, squalors of the land and cities alike throughout Maryland, are moving on to The Anderson Camp. It appears as if the voters have just discovered their political and socioeconomic destiny and deliverer. The Exodus is huge!They are saying their candidate is Jimmy! For he is their CHOICE!
The hall in which Jimmy held one of his political meetings was full to overflow in Pleebo.
“We want Jimmy, we want Jimmy! Jimmy is our man” is all one can hear throughout the length and breadth of Maryland. From Harper to Pleebo all the way to Karluway and Barrobo, this call is re-echoing in Maryland like thunder. Each citizen wears a gorgeous smile when he or she sings this song. This song is reverberating across the county!
Market women, youths, elders are cramping up in the streets. They are ready to go to the Polls to cast their votes. And they are ready to do so in favor of Anderson as their new senator.
Anderson’s appeal is strong! His influence is POWERFUL! His TOUCH is magical and moving!
Anderson is running his campaign for the future like no other candidate in the Race is doing.
Pleebo/Sodokeh District is his strong hold with approximately 20,000 voters.
Next is Karluway.
In the middle is Barobbo.
Last of all is Harper District. He is touching everywhere!
Jimmy is not giving up nor taking chances in all of the districts. He’s locking everything down for his Campaign! In few days, the Election is at hand. And Jimmy is ready like no other is.
Jimmy considers all of the districts in Maryland County very important. None is left untouched by him! He believes without each districts, his win is not satisfactory to him.
It is SIMPLE MAJORITY! And he is ready to take it all! And so he is reaching out.
Jimmy is crossing rivers, even when there are no boats or canoes to cross him. He says, "Across every river and lake my people are there and I can hear them calling for help. Help is on the way!”
Jimmy is walking the streets shaking hands and having personal touch with the voters. Women are bringing their babies for a kiss. The crowd gets so heavy at one point he was knocked down on his butt. He got up, wiped his bottom and began to shake hands again. That's what a candidate with the love of his people does!
Jimmy is as energetic and strong as a bull. He’s on his feet running here-and-there with the voters doing what they are asking of him – touch them.
The voters come to his home in the day and in the night. Everybody wants to speak and touch Jimmy.
Jimmy spends sleepless nights and hard days working towards his campaign.
All the other candidates have disappeared into the oblivion. It is all about Jimmy Anderson in Maryland County. And he is having a field day with the people's trust and confidence!
If election were held today, looking at what we see today, James Norman (Small Jimmy) Anderson will beat all the candidates “hands down.” Gloria Musus Scott, H. Dan Moraise are all included.
No doubt!
And that’s the truth!
