Halloween Mask Sales Predict Obama Victory

From the article at DrJasonJohnson.com

Halloween is predicting a Barack Obama victory.

Spirit Halloween, the largest retailer of Halloween gear in America with over 1,000 stores has run a little experiment over the last few election cycles. They have kept a running tally of which candidate’s masks sell more right before an election, and lo and behold, that candidate usually wins. Lisa Barr the spokesperson for Spirit Halloween says that the candidate who’s mask sells the most by Halloween has correctly predicted the eventual winner of the election in every campaign since 1996. Right now, Barack Obama masks are outselling Mitt Romney masks about 60 to 40%.
