Quote of the Day: Votes via “futbol”

"I'm not sure soccer and politics mix, but I guess it will be up to Nevada Latinos as to whether they appreciate this outreach or decide to issue Dems a red card in the primaries for this bizarre gimmick."

--Julia Hoppock of ABC News’ Exclusiva blog commented on the initiative by the Nevada State Democratic Party to sponsor a local soccer team with the goal (pun intended) of convincing Latinos “to register and vote Democrat in the 2008 presidential election”.

(Hat tip: This is American Soccer).
