And this is a true Axis of Evil:Broncos tight end Nate Jackson wanted to attend as well, but he was in Arizona -- McCain territory -- preparing for the next day's preseason game against the Cardinals. Jackson, fresh off the field from a recent morning practice at Broncos training camp, said he's been an Obama supporter ever since he met the candidate at a fundraiser last year. Foreign policy concerns this football player.
"We shouldn't be shunning the rest of the world community. It's important not to isolate yourself from the world," said Jackson, who gave $500 to Obama's campaign in March. Then, standing outside the locker room while catching his breath, he closely quoted former President John F. Kennedy's edict, "Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate."
Jackson said he believes Obama would espouse that ideal by working to build consensus with other countries.
Former Republican candidate Rudy Giuliani also had a strong sports appeal before he dropped out of the race in January... including... $17,000 from his hometown New York Yankees.
