Good question. Stopping NASCAR seems like a natural for liberals, doesn’t it? It represents all sorts of things they despise. Of course, it would open a few people’s eyes as to the real character of the poser in the White House.
I’ve been thinking this for some time. NASCAR is a sizable group of participants and fans. Most lean to the right and races are place for the exchange of opinions and ideas. Today, it’s all dependent on sponsorship. If Obama tells GM and Chrysler to eliminate their advertising budget specifically in support of NASCAR, what happens? Does that kill off NASCAR because it now has to turn to foreign sponsorship? Will we see Honda, Fiat, Kia, etc jump in to fill the gap? And who will go to a race if there’s no good natured Ford vs Chevy vs Dodge banter? I’m willing to bet Emanuel and Axelrod would love to bust up the NASCAR voting block...
I’m headed to Dover weekend after next for my one race this year. I’ll throw out the question about what if Obama yanks sponsorship by GM and Chrysler.
