Victorino, 27, lives in Las Vegas, and confessed to not having voted in a presidential election, thinking his vote didn't count. Obama's message changed that."He exemplifies what a lot of what America is about and how America is changing," said Victorino, who wouldn't mind an Obama/Clinton ticket. "He's brought out the younger generation. The younger generation needs to get involved. Every vote can make a difference." Looks like Jimmy and Shane are on board the Obama train:

But it’s not just about Hawaii. Victorino, 27, lives in Las Vegas, and confessed to not having voted in a presidential election, thinking his vote didn’t count. Obama’s message changed that.

“He exemplifies what a lot of what America is about and how America is changing,” said Victorino, who wouldn’t mind an Obama/Clinton ticket. “He’s brought out the younger generation. The younger generation needs to get involved. Every vote can make a difference.”

If the Flyers' owner can stage a Palin photo-op who's to say there isn't someone in the Phillies' mgt lending out the Phanatic as an in kind resource?And do we know where our hometown heroes really stand on this? My '04 Red Sox hard on suffered massive collapse the morning after the series when Curt Schilling stumped for Bush. What do we do if fellow born Hawaiian Victorino puts a knife in our guy's back?

The Phanatic is their trademark, so it'd be up to them to lay the smack down.
