RANDBALL bounces over this fun little video of the big three presidential candidates speaking to that most coveted sector of the voting public - wrestling fans!
Hillary Rodham Clinton implores viewers that for tonight, just call her “Hill-Rod”. Meanwhile, in an amusing nod to former WWE star The Rock, fellow Democrat Obama asks special interest groups who’ve been impeding goverment progress, “Do You SmellWhatBarack is Cooking?”
And John McCain channels Ric Flair & Hulk Hogan, as he announces “To be the man, you got to beat the man,” while calling upon his “McCainamaniacs” to get him to the White House in November.
Joe Paterno stayed true to his political party, as he passed on the chance to pal around with Bill Clinton.
The ASSOCIATED PRESS reports that the Penn State coach and noted Republican decided not to meet with Clinton last Thursday, as the former President made a stop in State College in support of his wife Hillary’s presidential campaign.
Well, two out of three, anyway. Barack Obama and John McCain had UNC winning in their brackets. As for Hillary Clinton, well, she’s not filling one out, for fear of irking potential voters.
Senator McCain, you might’ve heard, gained some attention by challenging supporters to beat him in a pool, with the hopes of winning great prizes like … McCain campaign merchandise! Stuff they’re probably handing out for free at rallies. Yeah! Read more…
NEWSDAY reports this week on a rather ironic Magic Johnson radio ad for Hillary Clinton (interesting to note that he’s endorsing Clinton over Barack Obama, for obvious reasons).
Ad copy: “This is Magic Johnson. On the court and in life, successful leadership comes from hard work and experience. That’s why I’m endorsing Hillary Clinton for President. We have great candidates this year, but I believe only Hillary is a proven leader, with 35 years’ experience dealing with challenges facing America.”
“My rookie year, we won our first game on a last second shot. I was so hyped. But the captain of my team said, ‘take it easy rookie, it’s a long season, it’s a long road to the championship.’ He was right.Winning comes from years of hard work and preparation. Whether it’s winning championships or a President who can lead us back to greatness, I’ll always want the most prepared and experienced person leading my team. That’s why I’m asking you to join me in voting for Hillary Clinton for President.”
There’s just one glaring problem with Johnson’s argument for Clinton - as he compares it to his professional career. Read more…
DC SPORTS BOG tallies up which pro athletes & team executives showed monetary support to this year’s presidential candidates.
Iowa caucus winner Barack Obama scored with the NBA crowd, getting contributions from Stephon Marbury, Grant Hill & Josh Childress, among others. Must be in acknowledgment of his own mad b-ball skills.
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton appears to be a favorite of execs, receiving funds from David Stern, WNBA president Donna Orender, Eagles team president Joe Banner, and other office types from the NBA, MLB, and NFL Players Association. Must be the sexy suits she fashions.
Now that we know which sports types are dealing with Democrats, who’s rooting for Republicans?
