Why the Yankees need a Kerry victory

[yankeedem]

The Yankees have not won a World Series with a Republican in the White House since 1958.

They have lost the series 5 times since then with Republicans in the White House

1960 (Ike)
1976 (Ford)
1981 (Raygun)
2001 (*)
2003 (*)

Since then, they have won 8 Championships under Dem presidents, including 6 straight (losses in 1963-64)

1961 (JFK)
1962 (JFK)
1977 (Carter)
1978 (Carter)
1996 (Clinton)
1998 (Clinton)
1999 (Clinton)
2000 (Clinton)


The Yankees 1970's Dynasty ended in the 1980's under Raygun, and started a slide to last place. The team didn't start recovering until 1993, the first year of Clinton.


It is critical that Kerry gets elected, so that our Yankees can start a new dynasty!

I like the Red Sox reasoning better!
