Here's the deal folks. As long as this stays about the Cubs ramifications of this, we'll keep it open. It's relevant to the Cubs, and it's understandable that people not normally apt to discuss politics would be interested. But if it turns into a political pissing contest, the thread will get locked and further discussion can be had in the politics thread. If you want to talk about the political aspect of this, the political thread will be happy to oblige. I know it's a fine line, but lets do our best to walk it.
