Democrats!

Karl Pohlad has contributed to Barack Obama and Viking's owner Zygi Wilf gave to Hillary Clinton.  It makes me a little proud that even the super rich in Minnesota can break out of hte "stereotype" box.

Fiscal conservatism doesn't pay for a new stadium.

Is this supposed to be a good thing? I think Warren Buffet is a better example. There's also George Soros, whom the Republicans love to demonize. Oh noes, a rich Holocaust survivor who gives money to liberal groups.

Carl Pohlad has probably also made more money off the government than any owner in professional sports. He's the definition of a total deadbeat.

Yeah, really, this is a big who cares.  In fact, from what I've read the uber-wealthy tend to identify more strongly with the Democrats in general... Bill Gates, this dude, Warren Buffet, and many, many, many more.

Yeah, but among sports team owners, McCain has like a 3-1 advantage over Obama.

I wasn't posting this to prove some kind of "OMG HE'S DEMOCRAT CUZ HE'S MINNESOTAN LOLZ" or anything... I just thought it was interesting because I assumed they'd be Republicans for sure.

Shrug, I don't know what the Rooney's political affiliation is now, but I know in the 60's they were aligned with the Democrats.
