This book will be written from the perspective of a sports/ political columnist. The Columnist receives mail from different fan clubs all over the country about their elected representatives in congress and the ongoing playoff election for the next United States President. The Columnist will then reply to the letters revealing how, in his opinion, that particular congressional official is doing in the playoff race, their possibility of advancing to the next round, and the background of how that fan club was started.
The political playoff race held every four years brings in the top eight fan clubs or backings from the past political term. The top four Republican fan clubs and the top four Democratic fan clubs make the playoff every fourth year. The playoffs are held at the beginning of the last year of that presidential term. The bracketing is based like any sporting event bracket would be. The seeding pairs the top of the Republican parties versus the fourth ranked of the Democratic party and so on down the line. The politicians have one their place to compete in the playoff race debates based on the electoral votes of their fan clubs.
This book is a satirical representation of how crazy the world can be about our sports teams regardless of who we place in power. It pits our allegiance to follow them and feed off of their victories and wallow in their defeats only to beg them to manage the team better next year, and bring in better talent. Big Papi goes homerless in the month of April 2009 and more letters are written to the Boston Red Sox front office about moving him out of the three hole batting position than all of the letters combined written to Detroit Congressmen about the eighty billion dollar bailout that the automakers are taking. Something is wrong when we as a nation are so bored with the people that are running our country we don't even care they are throwing away. Maybe the politicians like it that way, but what if we as the masses flexed our ability to change the way they work?
