Politricks is not for me. I don't believe in war

With the Raptors heading to Washington to face the Wizards tonight, Rose was asked whether he planned to attend any U.S. presidential inauguration parties.

"Nope. Politricks is not for me. I don't believe in war," Rose said.

However, Rose donated money to John Edwards' campaign for the presidential primary.

"Maybe I just didn't want Bush to win," Rose said. "I would have voted for you (a reporter) if you were running. Can't be any worse than what we've got."(Toronto Sun)
