Politics and the Cubs

[Backtobanks]

While campaigning, Judy Barr Topinka said Blagojevich ought to manage the Cubs because they're a bunch of losers. Another reason to vote against Topinka.

She must be out to win the Sox vote.

Or because a good portion of those that live south of the Chicago Metro area are Cardinal fans.

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about Southern Illinois (like every good Chicagoan) :D .

It's basically like two states anyways.

And yet, if you read her comments not to necessarily include the Governor (though she has some license as a candidate), what about her statement was false?

You mean south of the skyway right? That's still Illinois?

Being 100% serious here. I would guess that the majority of people in Illinois are not Cub fans. They "may" have the most fans of any baseball team, but the Cards would give them a run for it. The Sox fanbase is pretty much on the South Side and burbs of Chicago I figure.

I don't think Cards fans in Illinois come close to Cubs fans. The population is under 13 million, and almost 9 million of that is in Chicagoland. Eliminating non-baseball fans from the discussion, I think it's easy to say the Cubs fans are the largest group, with Cards and Sox fans fighting over 2nd place. Cards fans might take up more area, but not more population.

Exactly. And if she doesn't realize that the Chicago area is what wins Illinois elections, she's clueless.

Aren't felons not allowed to vote too?

I always head into elections with the realization that my vote will simply cancel out someone elses vote. This year, I choose you.

 

Topinka may not be any better than 'Balogna Man', but she cannot be any worse.

Vote green then.

You guys would be better off with Hillary. She said that she's been a Cubs fan her whole life.

I was planning on writing-in Ditka. Neither of the bums deserve my vote... but Ditka commands it.

SI's 50th anniversary poll of Illinois:

 

Favorite major league baseball team

Chicago Cubs 57%

St. Louis Cardinals 13%

Chicago White Sox 13%

[NewUserName]

There is a definate anti-Chicago attitude in downstate. For some reason I think Topinka was thinking that most south of I-80 are Cardinal fans. She does play up the Blagovich is from up there and doesnt care about downstate whenever she campaigns downstate.

[TruffleShuffle]

she can say whatever she wants; she's going to lose tomorrow.

How about Chuck Norris?

[Blueheart05]

I don't thinK she received 40% of the vote; looks like she could have used the support of Cubs fans in IL. LOL
