Obama/West 08
The Hornets were in Indianapolis to play their preseason game against the Pacers tonight. Barack Obama was there campaigning, following last night’s debate. Apparently their paths crossed. The entire Hornets team attended the Obama rally, and it looks like they also had some photo ops with the presidential candidate. (From which I learned that Barack Obama is taller than Chris Paul.)
This blogger, who was at the rally, posted a funny story about the Hornets, who were standing nearby. Apparently there was a protestor disrupting Obama’s speech, causing David West to yell down to him to shut up. Now, me, I would know not to mess with D. West, but the guy kept going and eventually got pulled out of the place by Secret Service. (Although I’m not sure about the comment re: Ryan Bowen and Sean Marks… who knows how/if they’re voting? I mean, it’s not exactly as if there haven’t been black players in the history of the NBA who were Republicans, and let’s just say it’s not exactly as if Barack Obama is falling behind in the white people vote.)
Anyway, I’m glad the team found something to do in Indiana. I knew someone from Indiana, once, and it didn’t sound that fun (At least I think I did. Is Purdue in Indiana? I get all those Midwestern vowel states mixed up. Same thing.)
Now who’s writing in Paul/West on the ballot next month? (KIDDING. Kidding.)

That’s awesome. Always good to see the boys aren’t at the local strip club. Instead, they’re listening to a presidential candidate speak. Nice. We should all care that much about who is going to be the next president.
I wish we had better choices than these lame candidates. It’s like the third presidential election in a row where I thought both candidates are horrible.
Well Obama may not be the best president but he has a hell of a vice president. Mccain has spent this entire time bad mouthing Obama and hardly ever says what he would do, he’s a veteran who doesn’t support veterans which is ridiculous and he’s ancient. As a vet I can tell you if someone was a POW that is sad to hear but I would never vote a POW into office because that does things to your mind that never go away. Sorry had to vent after seeing more negative crap from him on CNN….hate all this negative campaigning it made me not even vote in 04.
