Since 1933, the results of the Washington Redskins final home game has determined the winner of the Presidential Election. If the Redskins won, the encumbent won. Every time.
Final Score of just finished Redskins home game:
Packers: 28 Redskins: 14
Then again, the Boston Redsox hadn’t been able to win a World Series since 1918. So I guess we shouldn’t get too excited just yet. Nonetheless, I’ll take the Skins loss today happily over a Skins win 🙂
…and let’s be clear about this Brad. This was supposed to be a close game, it was supposed to be within three points. i guess the experts were wrong…
I heard of this too Brad. Alas, my team was on the losing side. However, for the last six Presidential Elections, the top halloween mask between the candidates has won. So either way, one streak will be broken. (The Bush mask is the #1 seller, and is sold out now, with Kerry being the #1 seller to be still in stock).

Of course I wouldn’t rely on any of these, but they’re very interesting. I could state for instance that since I was eligible to vote, every candidate in every election I’ve voted for has won.
The interesting question is – what will we all do after the election?
"I heard of this too Brad. Alas, my team was on the losing side"
You’ve got about 24 hours to start getting used to that idea, Troll. 🙂
There’s got to be something said about the Halloween mask thing. I mean, c’mon, what about all those Nixon masks they sell every year…
Well, some people still think that they can be "Tricky Dick." 🙂
and some of them are just plain big time Dicks Henry…
After the election? Depends on whether it was clean or not. Personally, i plan to oppose the war in Iraq and work toward its conclusion. In addition, if Mr. Bush wins i would like to see the current Halliburten probe to fruition. Speaking of Tricky Dich, as Henry did, when and over what did Spiro T. resign? And whose resignation did this last presage? If Mr. Bush were able to "win" this election my suggestion is that it will not go well with him. i would like to see him in prison regardless or at least in the dock at den Hague. Then two guys next to a crater that used to be a cafe in Iraq can look at each other and say, "i feel safer with Bush out of power."
