Any Given Tuesday
In February, the New York Football Giants stunned everyone by upsetting the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 41 (check number). Their journey to football’s highest peak was as improbable as it was surprising and their successful playoff run shows eerie similarities to this year’s Presidential race. The Giants and the McCain campaign share a few similar traits. Both were wild cards in the respective contests. At every turn, both were outspent, outgunned and not expected to win. The Giants went to Dallas and beat the Cowboys. They went to Green Bay and beat a legend on his own field. McCain, left for dead time-and-again, used the springboard of his New Hampshire victory to rack up enough victories to make his nomination a forgone conclusion by the time the polls closed on February 5th.
