World’s championship of foot-balling

I’ll just say this-- I had the point spread right.  Wrong team, way off on the final score (13-10 as opposed to 32-29), but those of us who knew it would be decided by three are a brave and far-seeing group.

The metaphor for the primary is obvious.  Dean opens the game by going 1-for-9 passing and picking up a total of -8 yards in his first six “drives.” Then, after committing a costly turnover that gives Kerry a lead he will maintain for most of the game, Dean will put together two long drives and complete an 85-yard pass just after Kerry has been intercepted in the end zone.  But Kerry pulls it out with his own series of well-executed drives, exposing telling weaknesses in Dean’s secondary and exploiting man-on-man coverage down the sidelines.  And then the game is decided by the kickers, go figure.  Any Democrat who’s wondering how best to run against Bush’s “No Child Left Behind” shell game or the Medicare scam should watch that fourth quarter again.  And do not go for two-point conversions with twelve minutes left, especially if you haven’t made one all season long!

I hope that’s clear.
