Obama getting his shine on. (Photo Nuccio DiNuzzo / November 4, 2008)If you're not sure what RalJon is, it's the original name of Landover, MD. (Home of FedEx Field, where the Redskins play) If the Redskins lose on the Sunday or Monday before election day, the opposing party takes office. This year was no different.
I guess I'll take a loss to secure Obama's victory in this year's election. Just like the Skins on Monday, McCain got SPANKED by Obama on Tuesday. I predicted a landslide victory and with the electoral college voting 349-163 in favor of Obama, you can call it a landslide victory, beat down or F-you (my personal favorite) to the people that didn't believe.
I'm sure you've heard all the hoopla about Obama's victory and the history it made. With all what's said and done, I do feel like our election process is a big joke. Especially this one with all the twists and turns and story lines. It made for great T.V. and conversations but it's not a sport or a realty show. Let's have some dignity and humility with it please! And can we shorten it just a little bit? Does it really have to last almost 2 years? No wonder the candidates had to raise 8 trillion dollars just to survive the whole campaign.
Even though the election went in my ( 64 million other Americans too) favor, I had to sacrifice a Skins loss. They are 6-3, 2nd in a tough NFC East conference. They don't have the scariest of schedules for the 2nd half of the season but they do host their NFC East foes plus games at Seattle, Cincinnati, Baltimore and San Francisco.
Now that Obama is on route for change in Washington, can the Skins bring some more change to Washington and win a Super Bowl? What do I have to sacrifice for that? My love for Sarah Palin? I think we can work something out.
