The Big Game

131 words.

For people who enjoy the “game” of politics, today is like the Super Bowl. Pundits have spent months hyping the game, analyzing every possible matchup, and making learned predictions, and the coaches have drawn up elaborate plans and strategies for victory. Today the fans are packed into the stadium and everyone else is glued to their televisions. It’s finally time to let the players take the field to decide the outcome of the game. (Sadly, if we carry this metaphor to its logical conclusion, we must also surmise that most of the players probably missed practice and skipped the team meetings, and indeed may not even know how to play football.)
