Athletes for Bush
Earlier today, former Cincinnati Reds catcher Johnny Bench introduced President Bush at a rally at the Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati:
In Cincinnati, I have to think Bench's endorsement is worth some votes. President Bush has gotten some striking athletic endorsements--Bench, John Elway, Curt Schilling, and quite a few others--while, as far as I know, Kerry has gotten none. Maybe that's why Kerry is so obsessive about throwing balls around at airports.
Now, if only the Bush campaign could land Brett Favre...
UPDATE: Hah! It's true what they say about Karl Rove. Dusty Tryggestad writes:
Actually, my mom recieved a recorded message from Brett Favre supporting Bush. Reference was made to today's win vs the Redskins. I would imagine this is playing all over Wisconsin.
I think this could make the difference in Wisconsin. I mean, really.
FURTHER UPDATE: Another reader doubts whether this is correct; there are phone messages recorded by Bart Starr--almost as good, but we already knew this--but this reader says he's not aware of anything by Favre.
