A "Loser Leave the Race" Wrestling Match?

Looks like it:

Well, it ain't kissing babies.

In unusual twist on campaigning, Tristan Patterson, the Republican candidate for the state House District 20 race, will enter the wresting ring Saturday night with his political future on the line.

Patterson has agreed to fight Donald Brower, a wrestling promoter and owner of Wilmington-based United Pro Wrestling Association.

The terms:

If Brower wins, Patterson has to drop out of the race and endorse his Democratic opponent, Rep. Dewey Hill. Hill, the incumbent for the district that covers Columbus County and part of Brunswick County, was hospitalized earlier this week in Wilmington for bypass surgery. The election is Nov. 2.

If he loses, Patterson also has to wear a New Jersey Devils hockey jersey and condemn the Carolina Hurricanes, said Brower, who hails from northern New Jersey.

If Patterson wins, Brower has to declare southeastern North Carolina the best place to live in the country and back Patterson on the campaign trail.


Click the link for the rest. This is an idea that could really catch on.

Not only is it worth a try, but it's a great time & money saver ... not to mention which it will do away with most of the obnoxious & nauseating political ads on TV.

@Rev.Paul: yah, but is it worth it if we have to listen to the two wrestlers trash-talk each other for a half-hour before getting down to business?
