Well, I'll help you out.
You can't root for Norton, because that is the hometown of Male Kann (a.k.a. "The Traitor"). And you can't root for Salina South, because that would mean you are cheering for oppression and totalitarianism.

The way I see it, you can root for either your neighbor The Hat or Clay Center. I have no problem with Clay Center.

But Manhattan's funnier. And we have a better T-Bell.

P.S. Male--is your sister going to be cheering at Newton? If so, I may have to skip volunteering for the Iowa caucuses to go hit on her.
P.P.S. That's right. I'm going to the caucuses.
P.P.P.S. I'm such a nerd.
