From Steve Zipay at Blue Notes:
“The idea of possibly having a hockey mom in the White House just blows my mind.”
Those are the words of Dayton Bombers owner Costa Papista, with whom I just spoke after watching a CNN shot of him presenting Bombers jerseys to both John McCain and VP candidate and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a self-described “hockey mom”, after the GOP rally at Nutter Center---where the ECHL Bombers play.
More on the hockey-mom-as-powerbroker can also be read at Puck Daddy today. As Greg says, “Soccer moms are sooooooooo 1996.”

Geez, I never thought of it at first, but you’d think any political party would consider it a seriously bad idea to have a rally at a location called “Nutter Center.”

Hockey mom or not, we’d be playing hockey in hell before I’d vote for her.

I think there already are teams playing in the hockey version of “hell”. Off the top of my head, the Panthers, Bolts, Preds and Coyotes come to mind. So, shall I tell Ms. Palin she can count on your vote?
