Football-loving McCainites vs. basketball-loving Obamacans?

[...] Football-loving McCainites vs. basketball-loving Obamacans [...]

Would be curious to see a breakdown of owners vs. athletes -- it seems like, between Jerry Jones, Dean Spanos and Woody Johnson, you've got a lot of financial firepower on the McCain side, and a at least some of the owners are going to have other interests besides their teams.

I hear a lot of reasons being put forth by both campaigns as to why to vote for them or vote against the other guy. But to me it's a no-brainer. McCain has voted with Bush 90% of the time. If you are happy with the results of the Bush Administration then you should vote for McCain. If not, then vote for Obama - I am.

Nothing so important should be tossed off as a "no brainer" Jay. It must be nice to see the world as so black and white and to be so sure of the rightness of one's opinions.

The Orlando Sentinel "Football 2008 " section (August 22, 2008) had full page pictures of McCain and Obama, each holding a red, white, and blue football. Both men look happy and comfortable, so kudos to the photographer.

Given the reasons some Americans use to choose their candidate, maybe football fans who vote should take a look at the photos before committing.

Obama is holding the football as a player at any level would hold it; not jacking it as if he is getting ready to actually throw, but in a position where he could throw it if he wanted to without changing his hand position. He's poised to throw.

McCain is holding the football vertically, like it is his prize winning squash at the state fair, one hand cupping one end, the other behind. He's just not ready-- to throw, that is.

It's possible that McCain has never held a football in his hands before--likely because they didn't play football in Hanoi, so he'd get a pass from his media supporters and keep his patriotic cred.

Had Obama held the football like a squash, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity would be flashing the image daily through November 4, and-- if Obama becomes president -- beyond. A McCain-like image for Obama would be sufficient to prove that Obama really isn't a real American, and not a real man, either.
