But just like them, John McCain and I will be the mavericky underdogs who beat the stylish flavor-of-the-month Dodgers." Philly fans still might boo her though.The Common Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09994070642805307798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131289420618991795.post-36457142526903563992008-10-16T11:10:00.001-04:002008-10-16T11:10:00.001-04:00I don't know why, but reading that headline got Ne...I don't know why, but reading that headline got Neil Young's "Cortez the Killer" stuck in my head.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131289420618991795.post-63335970805462161632008-10-16T11:10:00.000-04:002008-10-16T11:10:00.000-04:00Maybe she can see England from Eastern PA.

She had best be careful, though, because it's easier to get out of saying almost anything about politics than it is to get out of stepping in it with sports fans.Craig Calcaterrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00190345915954808542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131289420618991795.post-81811367999802377672008-10-16T10:21:00.000-04:002008-10-16T10:21:00.000-04:00Meh.

I think it's pretty common for speechwriters to try to work references like that into political speeches.<BR/><BR/>For a pol to say s/he is pulling for multiple teams would definitely be pandering. This just looks like bad speechwriting to me.Keith Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02099157607978191239noreply@blogger.com
