For some of us and I am sure we are a small minority, politics is very personal and sports is just entertainment. It’s not that we don’t have a sense of humor but when we realize that the difference b/w *this* hockey mom and Cheney is lipstick, any reference to her, even made in the spirit of hockey, makes us nauseous. Excuse us while we are a bit jumpy this season what with our houses gone and stocks worthless. I guess at least we have hockey to help us escape.

Ideally, OBX, you’ll sing the Richard Cheese lounge-version of the Sponge Bob theme… (hysterical, look it up).

Amazing, two illusions we have here in DC, a)the skins winning going to the superbowl every year and b) every election is deemed “the most important election ever!” Its supposed to be fun guys remember fun? Or do I have to sing the Spongebob FUN song?!?!

Wow, I’m much surprised by some of the venom in the comments here. To quote a great American:
“Lighten up Francis”.

Don’t misinterpret: this post has nothing to do with how anyone’s actually voting. It’s just fun when hockey pops up in unexpected places like a Presidential race.
@ Odessa: Nothing wrong with rooting for Pitt or Buffalo if that’s one’s home. Hopefully though any pol from those places would see the light and convert to the Capitals after reaching the White House.

I wonder if the OFB braintrust would vote for a hockey-loving politician if they were from Pittsburgh or Buffalo.
that would be the acid test.

good lord….all you angry posters out there need to get a life….this is nothing more than just a mention of something that might seem interesting to a hockey fan…i’m thinking if it were hillary as the hockey mom some of these posters would be ecstatic (and i guess the happy ones now would then be angry)!!! ridiculous.

@ Flipper,
Washingtonians must have become much more pessimistic since I moved to Atlanta for school. I recall everyone predicting the Redskins being a Super Bowl contender every year.
