Speaking of football, I double taked at a woman's "Beat Bama" shirt yesterday.

Yes, that was another very good article by a great economist (Cowen). I think it is a very good piece that explains, from a behavioral economist perspective how certain events (like winning a football game) can influence voters outlook and I think it makes a lot of sense. I don't think this particular piece is applicable to this election necessarily (for example, Ohio State is not the only team in Ohio -- what about states where there's a big intra state rivalry game, etc), but may have some more powerful effect on some local races.

For any of you senior members out there, is this what we Democrats sounded like in 2004?

Yes, but nclib was Winfield and jfern was Politico.
