When is that football game that supposedly predicts the winner of the election? I think

[my3boyz]

it is the Redskins? I don't know a thing about sports. I just know that last election was the first time it was wrong in many years.

1. well the redskins won today didn't they?

what's that supposed to mean?

2. Dont know exactly but

it's the last Redskins home game before the election.

Skins win, incumbents win.

Skins lose, incumbents lose.

3. I thought it didn't hold for Kerry or something.

[my3boyz]

10. Right. They were talking about it the other day and said the only recent

year where it did not work out that way was with Kerry.

[abumbyanyothername]

13. Of course

Kerry did win.

4. It's the Redskins game played just prior to the election...

...if the Redskins win - the party in power wins - if the Redskins lose - the party in power loses.

5. it's the skins' last home game before the election

whenever that is.

If the lose, the incumbant party loses.

Which didn't hold true in 2004

9. Sure it did. Kerry won, the rePigliCons stole that election.

It's still right :hi:

6. It's the Redskins last home game before the election. If they win, historically the party in the WH

wins as well. Supposedly, it's only not happened once in 48 years or so. I love my Redskins but they play the Steelers the night before the election. Guess who's rooting for Pittsburgh!

7. Go STEELERS THEN!!!

[grannylib]

8. Last Redskins home game of the season, or something like that...

Only time it's been "wrong" I think was 2004...and it was really RIGHT: Kerry won the election, Chimpy stole it.

11. THANKS to everyone for the replies. nt

[Clio the Leo]

12. Is there ANY chance, if Obama is elected, we can FINALLY get that team's name changed!!!...

..... seriously! Is it 2008 or 1958?

And oh yeah .... GO COWBOYS!!!!!!!! :)

14. Well then, what does it mean if the cable company is in a dispute

with the local station, so instead of showing the Bills game, it shows an old Bills game with the radio broadcast of the play-by-play from the current Bills game? My Dad told me he thinks[/i[ that's what's on the TV!
