Delaware Joes

This is notoriously late, due mostly to the beginning of the College Football Season. If only Obama had decided earlier than August 23 to name his running mate, I might have had more time to construct this insightful comparison, hopefully just the first of many (the second is already in the works.) As it stands, we have a couple of guys named Joe representing the state of Delaware. If that's not unique to College Football and Politics, I don't know what is.
