President Obama is hosting a Super Bowl party at the White House today for a group of lawmakers. Of the 15 lawmakers at the party, five are from Pennsylvania and two from Arizona. Included in the Pennsylvania delegation is pseudo-Republican Senator Arlen Specter. Notably absent from the Pennsylvania delegation is the Beltway Blowhard Congressman John Murtha from Southwestern PA. John McCain is also absent. Perhaps he is hanging out with Joe the Plumber in Ohio.

There is no truth to the rumor that Obama will be serving crow for an appetizer to the four Republicans.

My fearless prediction less than three  hours before kickoff is:

Big Ben Roethlisberger (Miami of Ohio) and the Pittsburgh Steelers 27 - 23 over the Cardinals in a thriller!
