Hey Bale... The Panthers are from Charlotte... We only called them the Carolina Panthers to sell more PSL's and to not disenfranchise the South Carolinians and Raleigh/Durham folks.
You do make a good comparison with Kerry and Edward.. I hadn't thought about it.
I'm not a big sports fanictic..unless you consider the markets a sport...one of the more deadly ones at that! However, it's hard to not get caught up in the fever. Charlotte has been one big party/rally for the last week.
