Oh for God's sake, CNN apparently thinks Biden talking in Delaware about beating the Buckeyes...

[Godhumor]

Could cost the Obama campaign Ohio.

1. CNN will do anything......

Just like John McCain.

They are two peas in a pod.

2. I just love that apparently CNN thinks Ohioans don't understand loyalty to the local team

Angry CNN Ohioan: WHAT THE HELL??? THE GUY FROM DELAWARE IS USING THE BUCKEYES TO INSPIRE HIS HOME TEAM???? HE IS GOING DOWN!!!! TO HELL WITH VOTING FOR WHAT I ACTUALLY NEED!!!!

3. I'm not sure who is wrong in this article - Biden or CNN but Ohio

State does not play Furman anytime, especially this weekend. We play Troy which I believe is in Alabama. As a Buckeye and Ohio State employee, I'm not insulted by these comments even if they were even somewhat true. I doubt that anyone rooting for their home team would cause someone to change their vote!

BTW: I'm going to the OSU/Troy game tomorrow. Hopefully they'll play better against these Trojans! GO BUCKS!!

4. I was born in the OSU Hospital

There's not a single person in my rather rabid OSU family that would change their vote over this comment, and they would consider me stupid if I asked such an inane question in the first place. I'm amazed sometimes at what CNN considers newsworthy--especially considering what is going on with the economy right now.

5. Seriously, when are we going to stop pretending that politicians just *love* the sports teams in

whatever states they find important at the moment? Everyone loves the Packers in WI and the Steelers in PA--and everyone's favorite football team is the Buckeyes, so long as Ohio's close. Hell, Rudy--a lifelong Yankees fan--claimed he was rooting for the Red Sox while campaigning in NH. And, of course, Hillary, who was a Cubbie girl her entire life, became a lifelong Yankees fan herself once she started running for office.

It's getting a bit annoying.
