San Francisco Giants partisan House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Philadelphia Phillies booster Sen. Arlen Specter are placing a sweet wager on the teams’ upcoming playoff series: chocolate. The winning lawmaker will get a load of chocolate from the loser of the NLCS, which begins today. Pelosi has put San Francisco’s Ghirardelli chocolate on the line; Specter is offering up Pennsylvania’s Hershey’s. Specter said he’s not sure which will be sweeter: a third straight World Series appearance by the Phillies or eating Ghirardelli chocolates while watching it.
