[NFL] Redskins Win = New President?

[TDQuiksilver]

So the word is if the Redskins lose their last home game before the presidential election in the U.S. then the current president will be voted out of office. If they win, the current president will continue onto another term. This has held true for the past 18 elections I believe. Theres about a minute left with the Packers over the Reskins 28-14. Is Kerry going to take office? Whoa.

That's the way it looks.

There is a good breakdown of each of the elections while the Redskins were in existance.

True. My fault for messing that up, but you knew what I meant. In any case, if this holds true then goodbye George :whistle:

[lyunya]

its just a coincident... that has nothing to do with bush winning again... because he will :D

[christracy]

16 outta 16 is a pretty good record.. er i mean "coincidence."

it even worked for truman v. dewey!!

[Steffan]

I also heard who ever sells the most halloween masks will become president, it has work for the last 6 races.

Kerry is in good shape Tuesday ;)

[Laughing-Man]

That is a funny statisitc. We can only hope it is true. I also read this on Friday too: Link. Looks like things are not looking very good for Bush.

ya right....

Don't mean to double post, but if Kerry wins in his acceptance speech he better thank the GreenBay Packers for making him president.

Something's gotta break. The kid's publication Weekly Reader polls kids across the country, and they have correctly predicted the elections simce something like 1958.....and this year with 60% of the vote....Bush won.

[L3thal Veteran]

A lot of things will break, unless they both win ;)

Go Kerry!

[joshpo]

also on the kids-poll front, nickelodeon has polled kids every election since its inception, starting in 1988. Picked the winner every time. Kerry won. I guess the kid samples were different :D

That last call was highly questionable. Flagged for not setting himself for 1 second? wtf? I wonder what the political affiliation of that ref was. :ninja:

[Cube]

aww man kerry is a bum I dont want him as president :ninja:

[CatnipOligarchy]

well, so much for the redskins theory.

[Laughing-Man]

Brett Favre did not deliever us a victory. That is not going to look good on his career stats.

[L3thal Veteran]

Stupid theories :angry:

Weekly reader Trumps all! :D

Then there must be something wrong with the American children today. Perhaps we should have had Howard Dean as the democratic candidate. I am sure the children would have liked his "Heeeeeeeeee-yaaaaaaah" war cry.
