With the backing of Obama by Pittsburgh Steeler running back, Franco Harris, one thought burst into my head. It was the Immaculate Reception. I immediately saw the bond between Obama and Franco. Franco had his Immaculate Reception, that should never have happened and Obama has his Immaculate Election that should not have given him the lead because Democrats were disenfranchised in Florida, Michigan and the caucus states.
Neither should have happened and now Obama is parading around like "The Cock of the Walk." It's incredible that his spineless supporters who could never stand up to the Republicans are now telling Hillary Clinton she should get out of the race. What unmittigated gall they have!
Back to the Immaculates after the jump.
Though most of the buzz today is about the endorsement of Senator Obama by Senator Bob Casey, for football fans in PA, what may have more significance is his endorsement by legendary
Franco Harris; Hall of Famer, former Pittsburgh Steeler & Nittany Lion, known thoughout the football world for the "Immaculate Reception".
Franco shares a bi-racial heritage with Barack. His African-American father, met his Italian mother in Italy at the end of World War II.

Also on board the Obama bus is Jay Paterno, QB coach at Penn State, son of the legendary Joe Paterno.
