Elections and Erections

The winning side has more than political momentum going for it...

Who wants to riot when:

there seems little doubt that men feel more virile, more powerful when they are successful after an important contest, whether it represents success at the office or on the playing field. And presumably this applies to the ballot box as well. The first use of the actual phrase, "To the victor go the spoils," is attributed to an 1832 election speech by New York Senator William Learned Marcy.
Among friends and associates, it is not unusual to hear stories of implied Celebration Sex: eg, "My parents told me I was conceived when my father was promoted to partner at his firm," or "I was conceived on the day my father became a US citizen." So, I have to wonder whether nine months from November 4, 2008 we will see a boom in births of Republican or Democratic babies corresponding with whichever party wins the Presidential election.
