1. Got a link?

Super Bowl QB Won't Stump For Kerry
(EVOTE.COM) - The Boston Herald reports Tuesday that Senator John Kerry (D-MA) tried unsuccessfully to schedule a June fundraising event featuring Super Bowl quarterback Tom Brady. According to the report, the Herald had reported March 31 that Brady was planning to host the June 21 fundraiser -- But two days later, Brady and the rest of Patriots would go to meet President Bush at the White House -- and two days after that, he withdrew from the fundraiser. The Herald piece speculates that Brady may have been unaware that Kerry is a likely '04 challenger against President Bush. The piece also cites an earlier U.S. News and World Report article about how both parties have been courting Brady, and how he wants "all the politicians to shut up and stop making it sound as if he likes any of them." For his part, Kerry did finally pick up a last-minute Republican challenger this week after months of heavy fundraising that has done little to dampen speculation about a presidential bid. 40-year old history teacher Anthony Kandel reportedly plans to make his first bid for elected office against the veteran Senator.


Then again, rooting for the Panthers isn't gonna help much. I mean, c'mon, Charlotte's congressional rep (and former mayor), Sue Myrick, confided that she and her husband have been worrying about terror cells since way before 9/11 -- every time they go to a convenience store where the clerk is South Asian!!!

Or, just excited by being in The Presence???

Ordinarily, I could not car less about who wins the super bowl, but knowing this now, I agree with you. Hey, I believe the Panthers are even in my own state...

4. Bizarre, huh?
The Super Bowl is New England (Boston) and Carolina. Some think the Democratic race could come down to Kerry and Edwards -- New England and Carolina.

7. I'm for Carolina too!!!!
Because I hate Bill Belicheck!!!!

I live in Florida now, but I moved to the Tampa area a year ago from Cleveland, and we'll never forgive Bill for what he did to Bernie Kosar and the Browns. Even though I hate the fact that Bernie is a Republican, but he was one hell of a quarterback.

It's not very nice, but I hope Brady comes out looking like he went thru "shock and awe".

8. Well, you got your "Real Patriots" and then you got your
"Patriot Act-ors" like Bush.

Be sure to distinguish the two. Go Patsies !
