wdm1219inpenna Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Like many of you, I suspect you're sick of the politics, debates, ads, etc. Just something to consider however...According to many polls, it would appear that Senator Obama, the Democrat, is out in front of Senator McCain in the race for the White House.The last 8 World Series titles the Yankees have won (2000, 1999, 1998, 1996, 1978, 1977, 1962 & 1961) all happened while a Democrat was President of the United States. The last time the Yankees won a World Series with a Republican president was way back in 1958, when Dwight David Eisenhower, our 34th Chief Executive, was in the White House, when the Yankees defeated the Milwaukee Braves in 7 games.The Yankees World Series losses with a Republican president include, but are not limited to:2003 - Bush2001 - Bush1981 - Reagan1957 - Eisenhower1955 - EisenhowerAnd of course, during the 8 year term of Nixon/Ford (1969 - 1977), the Yankees never made it to the World Series, until after Jimmy Carter, a Democrat, became president on January 20, 1977.So for Yankee fans who are conservative or Republican, and are dismayed by the poll results, take heart. Having a Democrat back in the White House may just improve the Yankees chances of winning it all in 2009!!!I'm Bill McD. and I approved this message.

DEAD! Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Forget Billy Goat, ever since Taft was elected, the Cubs have not won the World Series.... and the Cubs will only get the World Series once the U.N. folds. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 And of course, during the 8 year term of Nixon/Ford (1969 - 1977), the Yankees never made it to the World Series, until after Jimmy Carter, a Democrat, became president on January 20, 1977.I'm pretty sure they made it to the World Series in 76. They got swept by the Reds but they did go to the World Series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Just another reason why we need John McCain to be President.Talk about suddenly being torn. Now I'm not so sure about voting for Obama. Then again, The Red Sox won their last two under a Republican President. Sorry, it means more to me to make sure The Red Sox don't win. I'll live with socialism, higher taxes, forcing women to have abortions, hating America, and seeing Yankees win it all if it means The Red Sox don't win again.
