Even though he's rooting for the Yankees, Wally over at PNJ says that Governor Corzine gets some help from the Phils win tonight:Statistically, Democrats are more likely to win a race for Governor of New Jersey when the New York Yankees lose Game 1 of the Word Series. The Yankees have played in the World Series eleven times in gubernatorial election years, and have only lost Game 1 two other times: in 2001, when Democrat James E. McGreevey was elected, and in 1922, when Democrat George Silzer won. Tonight's win by the Philadelphia Phillies marks the first time they won Game 1 of the World Series in a year New Jersey elects a Governor; in 1993, the Toronto Blue Jays won Game 1. An interesting stat from Wally that probably does nothing more than back memories of Joe Carter crushing my dreams as a young Phillies fan in 1993. I know that I saw ads from Daggett and Christie in the pre-game show, but did I miss a Corzine commercial because I don't remember it? |
