More Bad News For McCain
“American football fans prefer Obama”:
This might be the deathblow to McCain’s campaign.
Americans would rather have Barack Obama over to watch football than John McCain. This is about more than football and beer.College Football by rdesai on Flickr, Some Right Reserved
College Football by rdesai, Some Rights ReservedIn a closely watched poll, Americans said by a slim margin that they would prefer Barack Obama over John McCain to kick back with in their living rooms to watch the football game.
Obama came out on top by 50-47% in the Associated Press-Yahoo poll. That roughly mirrors the tight race in national polls.

fuck yeah, i'd rather watch a football game with obama too. mccain, when he wasn't dozing off, would be asking about sammy baugh and red grange and shit. plus he'd constantly be asking you what just happened and then wouldn't listen when you explained it. it would suck.
Posted by douglas | September 20, 2008 2:58 PMI'm surprised that the difference is so small...Or shouldn't I be?
Posted by Lawks a Lordy | September 20, 2008 3:06 PMI bet the vast majority answered with the same candidate they're planning to vote for.
Posted by sepiolida | September 20, 2008 3:21 PMNo surprise. It would be boring listening to McCain refer to every play with "when I was a POW....."

Posted by Original Andrew | September 20, 2008 3:38 PMBut who would they rather play basketball with? Hmmmmm?
Yeah, but which vice-presidential candidate would they rather go moose-hunting with? Palin would shotgun you in the face in a heartbeat.

That's was pretty funny. Only thing is would it be American football or soccer?
@6 Indeed, I DON'T ever want to go hunting moose with Palin should she be VP. VPs have a bad reputation when it comes to hunting.

Mccain does have the Iditarod and Pinochle crowds sewn up.

Check this out.
Though more fans may want to watch football with Obama, more pro athletes give money to McCain.

oh come on.
Posted by mintygreen | September 21, 2008 8:46 AMThis won't be such a close election, once America gets sick of Obama's Hype.
Posted by raindrop | September 21, 2008 11:29 AMRaindrop, can you tell me why someone who inspires others is a bad thing? Maybe you just like uninspiring people like our current president and his BFF McCain because then your own pathetic existence doesn't seem so awful.
Posted by Donolectic | September 21, 2008 4:53 PMThe poll is incomplete.
While more Americans would rather watch football with Barack Obama, the majority of Americans would rather watch football at one of McCain's houses by 48 - 43%.
