How will LeBron James decision affect the midterm elections?

[bluestateguy]

We can expect an Adam Nagourney article any day now, I'm sure, about how the Democrats are doomed, DOOMED, I say because of it.

1. so glad I don't have teevee, the 50 post on DU are plenty

[thatsrightimirish]

2. The Cleveland vote will be depressed

I don't see the Democrats overcoming this.

[bajamary]

3. that's a good one

Great post AND I blame Obama for not getting LeBron to the CHicago (his hometown team) Bulls.

[bluestateguy]

4. ANOTHER OBAMA FAILURE

He failed to use the bully pulpit of the presidency to bring him to Chicago.

First the Olympics, now this.

And the thing, is I could actually see some people saying that too.

7. Does this mean we get to blame the former mayor of Cleveland

aka St. Dennis Kucinich? :)

5. Oh, God. I never thought of that.

Oh, well, at least we have someone to blame. That's important, right?

6. Who is LeBron James, what did he decide, and why should I care?

[ellie]

8. Who? What?

Who the hell is LeBron James?

[Skink]

9. he's 17th in line for the presidency.

he got bumped from 15 after the Bush years.

[Canuckistanian]

11. There's some controversy about that

Some say he's next in line after Sean Penn.

Others differ.

[Skink]

12. Sean Penn is not even ranked at this point.

[SunnySong]

17. Sean Penn is 15th in line for the Venezuelan presidency we are talking US.

10. Don't look for anyone in Ohio to show at the polls

They are too depressed.

[OhioChick]

13. More like pissed off....

While I don't like LeBron, he generated a lot of money for a city in dire straits.

[Yeahyeah]

15. They're going to vote Republican because LeBron is called "LBJ".

[Yeahyeah]

16. Dennis Kucinich will get even more votes,because LeBron is tall and he is short.

Short people there will have reason to live

[Yeahyeah]

14. Miami anti-Castro nuts will waste more of their time watching basketball,and so

...I guess it will cut into their nut time a little.

[costahawk1987]

18. lmao - I'm voting for you!

Great question...

[Prometheus Bound]

19. I think it will be good for the Democrats.

The media will not have time to report on anything else, and no one will want to watch or read anything else, so a lot of the current problems with the economy, war and environment will not be noticed.

This is good.
