“I’m not dumb enough to get mixed up in a World Series between swing states, but I think I may have detected a little pattern with Senator Obama. When he’s campaigning in Philadelphia, he roots for the Phillies, and when he’s campaigning in Tampa Bay, he shows love to the Rays.”
— John McCain
Obama is right, John McCain just doesn't get it. In this case, what he doesn't get is that NOBODY cares who wins this series, EXCEPT people in Philadelphia and Tampa Bay. The series will be a major yawner and Obama, a Sox fan, was just trying to be polite. If I had friends who were Phillies or Ray fans, I'd feign interest, too. It's like saying an ugly baby is cute. Duh.
