Super Bowl vs. Super Tuesday?
We’re headed into a week of “super-sized” events. First up on Sunday is the Super Bowl, where the undefeated New England Patriots go head-to-head with the New York Giants. And two days later, it’s Super Tuesday. Voters in more than 20 states will go to the polls, perhaps finalizing their party’s presidential nominees.
So which event are Americans more pumped up about? Turns out, it’s almost a toss-up. A new Washington Post/ABC News poll shows 40% of those surveyed say they’re more excited for the big football game, while 37% say they’re more worked up about the Super Tuesday primaries.
The poll also found those who are more psyched for the Super Bowl include: football fans – no surprise there, those who haven’t gone beyond high school, men and Independents.
As far as people who are more excited about Super Tuesday, that would include: non-football fans, college graduates, women and Democrats. When it comes to Republicans, they divide about evenly between the two events.
Here’s hoping that Greta van Susteren doesn’t have a wardrobe malfunction.
Since Tom Brady is said to have political ambitions, he might just be interested in both. John Elway, himself a participant in five “Super Sundays” and winning two of them, is involved in Republican politics in Colorado and nationally. I am surprised that he has not formally put his helmet in the ring for public office.
Overall, what this means is that husband will have a party in front of the TV with a bunch of his friends tomorrow night, while wife will do likewise on Tuesday night.
