Funny to hear that a Republican who was born in North Dakota and held office in Texas thinks that Sidney Crosby’s endorsement would wrap up the state for Hillary Clinton. And he’s the only one on the panel who knows who Sidney Crosby is! From CNN’s Situation Room:
ARMEY: I think she would get Sidney Crosby to come out strong for her, he could sew up the whole state. Right now, he’s probably the most popular person in the entire state.
But I also believe that Mrs. Clinton, Senator Clinton, will stay in this. She understands her obligation to the superdelegates. That’s the elite of her party. Their judgment should prevail. She understands the importance of that. And I, for one, believe she owes it to the Democratic Party to stay in until the convention.
BLITZER: Sidney Crosby, are you saying — who is Sidney Crosby?
ARMEY: He’s the most important hockey player in…
BLITZER: Oh, OK.
ARMEY: … in…
(CROSSTALK)
BLITZER: You knew that? Did you know that?
BRAZILE: No.
(CROSSTALK) BLITZER: I didn’t know that.
(CROSSTALK)
ARMEY: They don’t have hockey in New Orleans.
(CROSSTALK)
BLITZER: I thought he was talking about Bill Cosby for a second, who went to Temple University.
BRAZILE: Well, Bill Cosby is also very popular.
BLITZER: He’s a popular guy in Pennsylvania, too.
Shame I can’t find the video. Brazille’s response is priceless.
Something tells me that Crosby’s endorsement wouldn’t go over so well in eastern PA.
As for Crosby’s thoughts on the matter:
Crosby isn’t interested in following Armey’s suggestion.
“I wouldn’t endorse anyone,” he said yesterday. “People have to decide for themselves.”
Crosby has been following the high-profile race between the two Democrats.
“Every channel you turn to, it’s so big and it’s been going on forever,” he said. “I have my own opinions, but I’ll keep them to myself.”
Something tells me Crosby is an Obama man.
