James Bakersfield Research Paper
It was a cold, winter’s night in Washington. Everywhere there were people going about their day-to-day life. It was a particularly busy night, however, because it was the night of an election. In the coming hours, Americans will be casting their vote for president of the United States. The election was between Democrat, James Bakersfield, and Republican, Clare Thomlin. James was a tall, handsome man in his thirties, and was projected to win in a landslide. The former governor of New York, he was an experienced lawmaker, who in almost the entire two-year campaign, he had kept his cool. His opponent Clare was an egotistical, short, ugly woman in her sixties, and she was projected to lose big time. Clare was the CEO of a weapons manufacturing company, who has had more than a dozen scandals in her campaign. …show more content…
However, both candidates have huge support. James Bakersfield is very popular among the youth and collage-educated people, while Clare Thomlin is popular with uneducated, blue-collar workers. Even though Bakersfield is projected to win, there is still a chance that Thomlin might win. Even though Bakersfield has had a clean and successful campaign, there was one scandal that just would not go away, that is, of course, BlackberryGate. For those not aware, BlackberryGate, was the scandal in which James Bakersfield used his non-government issued Blackberry to make a phone call to a foreign head of state. When a government oversight committee asked for information about the call, James refused to give any information at first.

    Jefferson City, commonly referred to as “Jeff” or “Jeff City” and abbreviated as “JC” and “JCMO”, is the capital of the American state of Missouri. Originally called Lohman’s Landing, it started out as an unassuming settlement of explorers. In 1821, the town was declared state capital and subsequently given the name Missouriopolis, until in 1826 it was ultimately renamed after the third United States president Thomas Jefferson. Throughout its history, Jefferson City became prominent for the Missouri State Penitentiary, a prison that was opened from 1836 to 2004, earning the gruesome epithet of the “bloodiest 47 acres in America.” Today, Jeff City has a population of 43,079 and a wider metropolitan area of 149,807, which makes it the 15th largest…

All they do is watch the walls, smoke, and listen to their little radios,“So it was now, in his own parlor, with these women twisting in their chairs under his gaze, lighting cigarettes, blowing smoke...The three empty walls of the room were like the pale brows of sleeping giants now, empty of dreams”(92). These women are not socializing with each other, like real friends should. Their common bond is drugs, and the walls. The walls are one of the key factors that are ruining the social ability of these people. When Millie and her friends are talking about the presidential candidates, they say, “‘I voted last election, same as everyone, and I laid it on the line for president Noble. I think he’s one of the nicest looking men ever became president...He wasn’t much, was he? Kind of small and homely and he didn’t shave too close or comb his hair very well...Even the names helped. Compare Winston Noble to Hubert Hoag for ten seconds and you can almost figure the results’”(93). The media is not letting the presidential candidates say what they want to say. The people running the media know that all the women look for is looks, not for what they have to say, or what they’ll offer the country. Hoag could’ve been a great president, but the media showed him at his worst…
