Would they boo a hockey mom?

Have you ever seen a politician cheered at a sports event? Aren't politicians almost always jeered when the throw out a first ball, flip a coin at a football game, or just appear on the video screen? Why would a supporter invite a candidate to stand in front of a bunch of fans who just want to get on with the action, and why would the candidate accept?

This comes up because the Philadelphia Flyers owner, who's a supporter of the McCain-Palin presidential ticket, has invited Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to drop the ceremonial first puck before the team's home opener Saturday.

Here's a skeptical story from politico.com. But what do you think of the self-proclaimed "hockey mom" getting out there on the ice? If you were in Philadelphia on Saturday, would you cheer or boo her?
