I’ve been asked who I’m planning to vote for in November if Mitt Romney secures the GOP nomination. Sorry, I will not say. Sadly, I don’t think I’ll be voting “for” anyone but only “against” someone. As a registered Republican the candidate that best represents what I believe is Santorum. I do think I could vote “for” him. I keep wondering what it says about America when the two choices on the ballot will most likely be a Mormon and a Marxist. But then I remind myself that I’m not voting for a spiritual leader but a political one. A pastor friend said to me that if comes down to Obama and Romney he simply will not vote. If that proves to be the case with evangelical voters across the country then all I can say is, “welcome to Greece.” I suppose there could be some consolation if it turns out to be Romney/Rubio.
As for my Super Bowl prediction I find myself conflicted with my knowledge of the game and my love of the Patriots. As much as my heart truly longs to see Brady win a fourth ring I am forced to remember that defense wins big games. Defense has been the Pats vulnerability all season. I don’t think they’ll be able to handle the NASCAR set of four DE’s. But who knows, the New England defense could step up and play their best game and win the day. I can’t stand the thought of losing to Eli and the Giants again! So I’ll go with my heart…Patriots 23 – Giants 20.
You may have noticed how utterly contrasting these two subjects are, politics and football. Well, in a perfect world Tim Tebow would win the super bowl and also be elected president. But as we all know this is not a perfect world so get used to disappointment. I take great comfort in the sovereignty of God when it comes to our nation’s leaders. And when it comes to football, it doesn’t really matter. It’s just fun to watch. And by the way, who picks the half time entertainment? Madonna, really? Come on, man.
