Could a Cubs-Red Sox World Series Be a Good Omen for Us against *?

[mot78]

A few years ago, I was talking to a friend of mine about curses in baseball, and when I asked hypothetically what would happen if there was a Cubs-Red Sox World Series, his reaction was "Judgement Day will follow". Now that this series could actually happen, I'm wondering if it's good news for us, since Bush* and the media like to make us lok like the "unelectable" ones. Could a Cubs or Red Sox (God forbid, I'm a Yankee fan btw...don't flame me) victory translate into a Democratic Presidency, or even control of Congress in addtion to that?

1. Could Be

It might be like the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team win against the Soviet Union. That ushered in the Reagan Revolution.

Or coincided with it, anyway.

2. By analogy

Chicago Cubs / Boston Red Sox = Democrats ("Blue collar teams")

Marlins / Yankees = Republicans ("Big Money teams")

3. i have heard a lot of spooky talk on this very subject lately....

....people, claiming to be in the know, asserting that a Cubs/Sox series would bring on the end of the universe.

and one guy, who claims to know a little about Obeah/HooDoo/Shamanism told me that if such a series went to seven games, and then into extra innings, time throughout the universe would simply stop and never again become unstuck, and the entire universe would stay in that precise position -- every molecule --- forever, although forever would then be a useless concept because time would have stopped.
would that be a good thing or a bad thing?

4. Not really, I rooted for the A's

5. The last time the Red Sox played the Cubs in a World Series was in 1918...

Unfortunately, that wasn't a presidential election year, so we have nothing to go on there. For what it's worth, Warren G. Harding was elected 2 years later.
