...grudgingly. They'll probably win. But they aren't making it easy to root for the home team. If dreams come true, and it comes down to Tiger vs. Sergio on Sunday, mano a mano for the Cup-winning point, it would not be surprising to hear a foreign cry rise above the lush arborvitaes of a tony Boston suburb...

"Straight shooters are going to rule tomorrow... I'm going to shoot straight about foreign threats and I'm going to talk plain about the economy and social issues. My bottom line is: If a policy threatens the Dream, we need to go after...
