Donkey's

From Steve Czaban, a sports columnist in D.C.....thought it was very well put.

Donkey Shakeup?
If Democrats vs. Republicans were like a college football rivalry, then right now Bush and Co. are Michigan in the late 1990’s, while the Democrats are Ohio State under John Cooper. Which means it might be a good time for Team Donkey to clean house on “upper management.” And that’s not even accounting for ol’ Bob Shrum, who is now 0-8 on Presidential campaigns. Damn, you would think after like 0-6, the guy would be regarded as political poison. I’m talking more about Terry McAuliffe, who despite being able shake out lots of cash from people, has now presided over 3 consecutive losing election cycles as DNC chair. McAuliffe is a Clintonite, and supposed political “genius” because of this legacy. I dunno, but strikes me a lot like Norv Turner, who was supposed to be an offensive “genius” just because he happened to run an offense in Dallas with three future HOF’ers on offense in Aikman, Emmitt, and Irvin, not to mention a great head coach in Jimmy Johnson. Don’t get me wrong, we here at Team Elephant would love for McAuliffe to stay as long as possible (perhaps even strengthen his hold) but sober advice would suggest the opposite.

Also, I got an e-mail from my dad. While watching the packers on Sunday the broadcast couldn't stop talking about how for the last 17 elections, if the redskins win their last home game before the election the donkey's win and if they lose the elephants win. Well the packers won so Kerry should have won the election....Well dad put it so eloquently when he said that using a football game may be the stupidest predictor of an election ever.......So true.
