Both sides. Same issue. Both claiming to be fans of each of the teams left in the baseball playoffs. Both full of shit.
This leads me to wonder -- does the outcome of the World Series ever influence the election? For instance, if the series goes to seven games, it'll be decided on the 30th, less than a week before election day. And with so many states allowing early voting, I wonder how many people will vote on a whim, either in-between errands or in the haze of a post-game (or hell, pre-game) hangover.
I'm sure I'm not the first to ask this, but I've yet to see an cogent answer to the question.
I remember four years ago a few of us were hoping for an Astros-Red Sox series, since Bush and Kerry would be to some degree represented by the teams. Then we could settle the election in a best of seven series. At least it seemed amusing at the time.
Maybe it pays to pander. I mean sports fandom is as arbitrarily fanatical as just about anything, including religion and politics.
