Super Bowl Monday: Everyone is an Underdog Print E-mail
Written by Dave Loos

No politician can resist an underdog metaphor, and well, a 12-point underdog beating a undefeated team in the Super Bowl presents some pretty good talking points on the eve of Super Tuesday. Just about everyone likes the Giants today, and even Romney -- the former governor of Massachusetts -- found a way to associate himself with the big game.

On the campaign trail in New Jersey, John McCain let new best friend Rudy Giuliani do the talking for him. The former New York City mayor said voters should identify the triumphant team’s upset victory with McCain’s comeback campaign.

Meanwhile in Tennessee, Mike Huckabee -- who's more like 20-point underdog heading into tomorrow -- grabbed hold of the Giants coattails. "The New York Giants showed up and decided the game wasn't over until they decided it was over," said the Dallas Cowboys fan.

Also in New Jersey, Barack Obama said "sometimes the underdog pulls it out. You can't always believe the pundits and prognosticators." Obama failed to mention that he had been rooting for the Patriots.

Given that it was her home team, Hillary Clinton was surprisingly quiet on the underdog rhetoric front today. She did plan to tell voters in Massachusetts today that "they can redeem themselves and go with a winner" on Tuesday.

Romney, meanwhile, was smart enough not to pull another 180 and turn on the Patriots. Instead, he did the next best thing and latched on to quarterback Tom Brady. “I e-mailed him an e-mail, just said good luck, and he e-mailed back,” Romney told reporters yesterday.

Finally, the biggest underdog of them all, Ron Paul, apparently had nothing to say about the big game. Maybe he doesn't like sports. Or, for that matter, cheesy metaphors.

themselves what activities to engage in. They can wander around and partake in
RS quests, challenge other players and monsters in combat, and increase skills
by performing skill related tasks. Some trainable skills are
Runescape fishing,
mining, crafting, runecrafting, construction, hunting, and thieving. Players can
also chat with and interact with other gamers from all over the world through
trading and playing mini-gamers.

By completing Runescape quests, players can receive rewards such as quest
points, coins, items, new spell books for magic skills, an increase in skill
experience, and gain access to a new region. Quests are divided into four
different groups depending on the level of difficulty and requirements: novice
quests for beginner players, intermediate quests to add some challenge to the
game, and more difficult experienced and master quests for experienced players.If

Hi, We're EnviroWonk

Yeah, OK, we can be the change that we want to see in the world. But unless powerful people in powerful positions want to be that change as well, nothing's going to change.

So now, finally, there's a place where you can go for news and analysis of politics from an environmental perspective.
