Someone posted a picture of him with his family - on this thread, or another one? - and it's a lovely formal portrait, but he's holding a FOOTball in it. There's no reason for the football to be there. As a non-sports fan, when he makes sports references, it really shuts me out from understanding what he's talking about. When he answers questions with something like "Well, it's like we're on the ten yard line and it's the fourth down", I don't know if that's a GOOD thing or a BAD thing. What's he trying to tell me???
Well he's playing to all the football fans who he probably thinks are a big voting block like NASCAR fans supposedly are. It may be football but underneath its all part of political stunt to get votes. Every politician does something like that at one time or another when they are running. He's running for Senate so since his father was famous he's using that for his political stunt. Nothing wrong with that all politcians do it. He's just boring people with it.
