Here’s a Tribune story out of suburban Chicagoland that very nicely illustrates the difference between the Republicans (McCain) and the democrats (Obama) in this year’s presidential election. Of course, the story itself has nothing whatsoever to do with politics. It’s about baseball. But if you swap out “Cubs Couple” for McCain/Palin and “Sox Couple” for Obama/Biden, you’ll get the point.
Like the Cubs Couple, the the McCain campaign seems quite content to poke and prod and just hope for the best, while Obama and the Democrats, like the Sox Couple, go in for the kill. Sad, but true.
That, and the story’s just a classic chapter in the ongoing history of the Cubs vs. Sox rivalry. Do not ever tell me that Yankees vs. Red Sox is the best rivalry in baseball. It’s easily a distant but deserving third behind Cubs vs. White Sox and Cubs vs. Cardinals.
