The Curse

Being a Red Sox fan (and a conservative), I found this article very promising - at least in part. One can only hope (and pray) that the Red Sox and Kerry prospects are negatively correlated. If they truly are, it will be either a great autumn or one of the most depressing in recent memory.

One thing we do know is that the two baseball rivals will settle their differences well before the two candidates. The Yankees and Red Sox play six times over the final two weekends in September. Bush and Kerry will meet three times, at most, in October. Odds are the two candidates won't engage in a bench-clearing brawl, as did the two baseball teams on the afternoon before Kerry visited Fenway Park. Then again, the presidential stakes aren't as high.

Just ask any Red Sox fan. They belong to a party that's been out of power since 1918.
