3/3/2008 Stephen L. Betts Forget the Super Tuesday rivalries. What about the political contest between Garth Brooks and actor Paul Newman? Haven’t heard about it? Perhaps that’s because it isn’t exactly a real race. The superstar and the Oscar winner both have their names on the ballot for an upcoming election for the position of national director of entertainment. Balloting takes place March 11 in Yamhill County, Oregon, but neither candidate is campaigning. The vote is actually just a test run of the county's new election system, which will be used in a real race on May 20.
