That's right: The World Series may very well determine which party is in control tomorrow night!While everyone in Philly is mad and annoyed that the Phillies lost their chance to win the World Series, the fact that the San Francisco Giants are up against the Texas Rangers tonight with a 3-1 edge could actually mean the Democrats could retain control of the House and Senate!!!
Let me explain:
First off, look at the home of the teams. Both are incredibly different right now politically. San Francisco is liberal blue with the state of Texas conservative red. Both areas are incredibly populous and both areas must be ready to vote tomorrow in the mid-term elections for nearly-straight party tickets.
Thanks to Dopamine that's produced in the brain, you can feel elated for long periods of time whenever a sports team wins, ESPECIALLY if its the first time in over 50 years! On the flip-side, you can feel really, really depressed if you're team loses.
In other words: IF The San Francisco Giants win the World Series TONIGHT, we could see a notable rise in turnout tomorrow there tomorrow favoring the Democrats and liberal agenda. We could also see the state of Texas depressed and less-likely to vote for their conservative candidates. Meaning we could see the Democrats win tomorrow thanks to the San Francisco Giants.
What if the Giant's loose?
I doubt it would actually change much from what I'm saying. The folks in San Francisco are still fairly energized and the folks in Texas are, too. Not having a resolution tonight doesn't mean much, it just means that the impact won't be as strong. Mind you, if everyone around you is in a good mood, it most likely will have an impact on you, too.
So don't forget to go out there and vote tomorrow!!!
