I guess is was worth it to triple my television viewing for the year. That was an entertaining game. It was fun to watch it with a few friends.
Dave, I'm afraid I might have let you down. One of the attendees (employed in the coal industry) made a comment about Obama being better at predicting football games than elections. I said that New Orleans was democratic territory after Katrina, so it was natural to go that way. His response was "sure it is, that's where the democrats get their vote because it is all black." I decided at that time that I didn't want to ruin things for my friend who was hosting the party, so I held off doing anything more to expose his prejudices. It would have been fun to say, however, that it's too bad for McCain that there are more African Americans than there are bankers, but I remained the diplomat. Sorry.
Regards,
D-Ray
