Yesterday Bill Richardson made sure he wouldn’t get support from Red Sox fans or Yankee fans:

MR. RUSSERT: You’re a Red Sox fan. GOV. RICHARDSON: I’m a Red Sox fan. MR. RUSSERT: End of subject. GOV. RICHARDSON: End of subject. MR. RUSSERT: You better get rid of this book [in which Richardson says he’s a Yankees fan]. GOV. RICHARDSON: Oh, no! I’m also a Yankee fan. I also like… MR. RUSSERT: Oh, now, wait a minute! GOV. RICHARDSON: You can—Tim… MR. RUSSERT: I guarantee… GOV. RICHARDSON: No, I know, I got in trouble… MR. RUSSERT: …if you go—if you go to Yankee Stadium or Fenway, you cannot be both. GOV. RICHARDSON: But I like—Mickey Mantle was my hero. If I weren’t running for president, and the Associated Press asked me, I’d play center field for the New York—I wanted to be number seven. And—but I still love the Red Sox as a team. I mean, this is the thing about me, Tim. I can bring people together. I can unify people. MR. RUSSERT: Yankee fans and Red Sox fans? GOV. RICHARDSON: Yes. MR. RUSSERT: Not a chance. GOV. RICHARDSON: Well, I bet you I can.

I’ll take that bet, Governor. You’ve got a better shot with the Sunni and Shia.
