The First State is Now an NFL Swing State (NY Times)

From The New York Times:

JOHN BRAND
January 18, 2009

Delaware — suddenly relevant to people who might have long thought otherwise, if they thought about it at all — is atwitter for the inauguration on Tuesday, when the adopted Delawarean Jpe Biden becomes the vice president.

It could be just the start of an arc of rare attention. The state’s masses — if a population of 853,476 can be considered such a thing — also ponder the possibility of a Super Bowl between Baltimore and Philadelphia. Those football hotbeds are divided by 100 miles. And Delaware.

Talk about a swing state.
