Candidate tries to regain footing after Lambeau Sept. 14 - Forget soccer moms and NASCAR dads. The most important demographic in these parts transcends gender and geography -- it's Green Bay Packers fans. Both candidates are targeting them with the ferocity of a Brett Favre bullet, but only John F. Kerry has fumbled the name of the hallowed grounds on which the Packers play, the frozen tundra of Curly Lambeau Field. At a campaign event last month, the Democratic presidential nominee called it Lambert Field -- a slip of the tongue carried on television, in papers throughout the state and on ESPN's Web site. That's akin to call the Yankees the Yankers or the Chicago Bulls the Bells. This is a place where Packers jackets often outnumber sports coats in church and thousands of fans wear a big chunk of yellow foam cheese atop their head with the pride of a new parent.

We have new friends who are GB fans. Moved here to San Diego from Wisconsin four years ago....REALLY, REALLY big GB fans. I had no idea the extent these people will go to root for their team. It's unbelievable.
I've been a Packers fan since 1995. I've always wondered how one could be a Democrat and a Packers fan.
Cognitive dissonance. Go Pack!
In 1955, Packers Coach Lisle Blackbourn flirted with a talented young pro prospect in Massachusetts: Ted Kennedy, who now plays offensive line for the Kerry campaign.
Lisle Blackbourn? We Packer fans remember him as a lousy coach (we have long memories) but I never knew he was THAT lousy!
I'm kind of a Packer fan, too - as long as they are not playing my beloved Patriots... ;)
Funny you should say that: I feel the same for your Pats!
Chummy
(Packers fan since birth -- the year Vince arrived.....)
GO PACK!
Not to worry, he's still the choice among CRACKheads. (Interpret it however you please, it works either way.)
Cool! The Pats are my life-long team, since I was born and raised in New England... However, Green Bay is my favorite NFC team...
Who's suprised? He went to a baseball game and threw like a sis. At the midnight rally, he told lied about the Red Sox/Yankees margin (in front of a bunch of disinterested Reds or Indians fan, at that). He recently made a fool of himself in Ohio (again)and Michigan by trying to discuss college football. He's part French, so I'm sure he's very familiar with the term POSEUR.
Desmond Howard will always hold a special place in my heart
I present proof:
Did you run that photo by CBS for verification?
