Go Packers???

John Kerry recently visited my home state of Wisconsin, and its most important cultural landmark. The Frozen Tundra, the home of the exalted Green Bay Packers: Lambert Field? WTF?!?!?
Other amusing curds:

ME: If Favre endorsed one candidate or the other, do you think it matters?
WARD: It would carry the state.
ME: You think it would?
WARD: I know it would.
ME: Who would he support?
WARD: I don't know Brett Favre personally, but a good friend that I hung with every year knows Jeff Favre, his brother. They're huge into hunting. They like their guns, and I'm sure Brett likes his money. So I would say like 8-out-of-10--I don't know Brett personally--but there's an 80 percent chance he's definitely Republican. And if he were to say it, it would definitely carry the state.

("Me" is the Weekly Standard's Steven Hayes. And no, that's not some bit of tortured Bush-ian grammar, because as I'm sure you're aware by now...wait for it....My Name Is Not Steven. ) And this...

The Bush supporters I met at Lambeau Field will have a tough decision to make three days before the election. That's when their beloved Packers--okay, our beloved Packers--travel to Washington, D.C., to play the Redskins. According to the Hotline's Chuck Todd, a noted Packers fan, "If the Redskins lose or tie in their last game before the election, the incumbent's party loses the White House." How long has that superstition held true? For the last 72 years--or 18 presidential elections.

Good thing I'm a Bears fan.
