Obama picks Tar Heels to win


Barack Obama has picked his bracket.

The Democratic presidential candidate told 850 The Buzz that UNC-Chapel Hill would win, with Kansas, UCLA and Stanford in the Final Four. 

From the radio station's blog (audio available):

No polished talking points fed to him by a staffer, this man is serious with his sports knowledge. After revealing that he lost a game of h-o-r-s-e to former candidate John Edwards, who has full sized court on his property featuring a giant UNC logo, Obama broke down his Final Four picks.

Obama said he did not pick Texas because he doesn't trust teams whose best player is a point guard.

Earlier, Obama said he liked UNC because of Tyler Hansbrough.
