Tradition, tradition: Obama plays Election Day basketball.

PHILADELPHIA, PA.–There have been so many election days since the first voting in Iowa back in January that there has been time for Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) to have firmly established a tradition: to play some basketball on an election day. Obama played in Pittsburgh on Tuesday morning, at a YMCA with some people described as “Chicago friends” among the shooters. Some reporters were also watching on an off-the-record basis.
