Obama flip-flops, becomes a Phillies Phan The Examiner

Standing in Philadelphia, in front of thousands of residents of Philadelphia, he went out on a limb. “I am a White Sox fan,” he said, “but since the White Sox are out of it, I’ll root for the Phillies now.” So there you have it, Obama is now pulling for the Phillies. Write it in stone. Hold him to it. Sure, there is a lot to like in the Phillies. Lefty Jamie Moyer, for instance, pitching into his late 40’s, is defying the limits of age (take notice John McCain). The Phillies have nice uniforms and a nice stadium too. There is a lot to like, but is that really what Obama likes? Could it be that the Phillies are from Philadelphia which is in Pennsylvania, which is a battleground state? And does it help that they are playing the Dodgers from Los Angeles which is in California, which is a safe Democratic state? Who really needs the Dodgers anyway?Will Obama stick to this position when he campaigns in Florida? After all, the Tampa Bay Rays are in the playoffs, and are located smack in the middle of key swing territory in the Sunshine State. Will Obama be brave enough
