Obama's victory started in the right field bleachers

In mid-September Barack Obama stepped up his campaign by taking it to the right field bleachers at Yankee Stadium. The Bleacher Creatures are the heart and soul of America. Getting their endorsement was the deciding factor in the Presidential race.

Obama's presence was unannounced. First, there was a commotion originating from the bleachers. As the rest of the fans in the stadium strained their necks to see the source of activity, it was obvious there was a guy in a suit that was the center of attention. He was taking pictures and shaking hands with everyone. I am sure some intense political discussions were being carried out.

It became obvious to the whole stadium that Obama was there when they put him on the Jumbo-tron. After seeing this, the whole stadium erupted in cheers. You could even see the flag pin on his suit lapel. Unfortunately, the secret was out so Obama left within an inning or two because of security concerns.

McCain should have known better. When he visited Yankee Stadium he sat with Giuliani in the box by the dugout. He failed to understand the real power brokers in New York are the Bleacher Creatures.
