Was Race an Issue? Phanatic Victor in Mascot Primaries




Forget Romney, forget HRC, forget Barry Obama. The Phillie Phanatic is the victor in a recent election race. As reported by PDN, the Phanatic was ranked number one as far as mascots and brand identity go. Although this study had more of a marketing and business angle, I will take the victory. As I have said before, the Phanatic was an integral part in my childhood-baseball memories.


It was nice to see he could rise above the fray in this contest and even-handedly beat his opponents such as Mr. Met and Rowdy (who I hear is looking for a job as the new Arby's mascot after the Cowgirl's recent loss).


Don't you think that, because of his green fur and extra-terrestrial characteristics, he would be the perfect running mate for Dennis Kucinich?


And that's the triple-truth, Ruth!
