But here’s the quotes from our “canidates”:

"Last week, in the National League divisional playoffs, the Chicago Cubs faced the Los Angeles Dodgers. In Game 1, the Cubs lost 7-3. In Game 2, they lost 10-3 and in Game 3, 3-1. What, as president, would you do to guarantee that this never happens again? Senators, in your answers, please be specific," Murray asked.

"That’s a fair question, William, but let’s face it, the Cubs may very well be in the playoffs again, perhaps even next year. If so, they will lose again, and they will keep right on losing year after year after year, because that is waht the Cubs do. We as a nation have got to wean Cubs fans away from supporting that team and train them to root for other teams – teams that will actually have a chance at winning," Armisen-as-Obama said.

“Senator McCain?” moderator Tom Brokaw (Chris Parnell) asked.

"Here I have to agree with my opponent," Hammond-as-McCain said. "Let me give you some straight talk, my friends: The Cubs will never win the pennant, much less the World Series! Junior over there, he won’t tell you that. I just did."

Pretty funny stuff, though this won’t help Cubs fans feel any better. We’re still a punchline in the national media.

Was the dude from Keenan and Kel screaming “fix it!”
