Here's an idea!
Since we all know that the 2006/8/10/etc. elections might be fraudulent, I propose a new way of determining who wins.

Instead of American vs. National League in the All-Star game, I say we make it blue vs. red states. We can use this map:



Most people know enough about baseball to understand how it's played, so there's transparency for you. Baseball is a fair game. There's your fairness.

Now all that's left is to pick a team.

The ground rules:

- 15 players to a team, every position has to be covered
- Players must be selected from a team that makes its home in a blue state. The Nationals can be either red or blue. Players playing for the Blue Jays are red or blue based on where they played previously.

DISCUSS.

Mine:

1B - Carlos Delgado (Mets)
2B - Robinson Cano (Yankees)
SS - Derek Jeter (Yankees)
3B - Alex Rodriguez (Yankees)
C - Jason Varitek (Red Sox)
Backup C - Jorge Posada (Yankees)
LF - Vladimir Guerrero (Angels)
CF - Johnny Damon (Yankees)
RF - Nick Swisher (A's)
DH/Extra Infielder - Miguel Tejada (Orioles)
P - Mike Mussina (Yankees)
P - Tim Wakefield (Red Sox)
P - Jose Contreras (White Sox)
P - Derek Lowe (Dodgers)
P: Mariano Rivera (Yankees)

2. They're good, I'll give you that.
But you would need the godlike powers of Jeter and A-Rod to strike the final blow :evilgrin:
