Obama's Victory: A Silver Lining?

For Yankee fans, anyway. In the last 50 years, the Yanks have not won a single World Series during a Republican administration. They've won 8 championships* in that time, all while a Democrat resided in the White House, which happened in only 20 of those 50 years. On the other hand, the New York Giants have won their 3 Superbowls during Republican rule, which does not bode well for their Lombardi Trophy chances this year despite their 8 and 1 start.

*The LA Dodgers have won the second most Series in that time - 5 ('59, '63, '65, '81, '88) - 3 under Republican presidents and two under Democrats. Brooklyn won its only championship in 1955.
