I grew up in a town with the population of Marysville, PA - we don't have the population of 5000, we have the popluation of 2500. But in a town like Marysville I suppose if I lumped in our neighboring town of Duncannon that would put us to about 5000 people. Both towns are located in rural Pennsylvania a bit away from the city of Harrisburg. Major issues our town faced were crimes such as drunk driving, kids getting busted with pot and perhaps some domestic abuse. The big todo is that Marysville might get a traffic light - the first ever in our county.

Now someone tell me how the hell running a town the size of 5000 people makes her more qualifed than a man who served time both in the Illinois state senate (a state that the 5th most populous state in the country) and 4 years in the US Senate to a woman who was mayor of a small town in Alaska and won her election for governor because she was running against one of the most corrupt men in Alaska.
