Sorry, Packers

From Snopes:

FOOTBALL + ELECTION

Did you know....??

The Washington Redskins have proved to be a time-tested election predictor. In the previous 15 elections, if the Washington Redskins have lost their last home game prior to the election, the incumbent party has lost the White House. When they have won, the incumbent has stayed in power.

This election year, that deciding game takes place on Sunday, October 31 ... vs. Green Bay.

I love the Packers, but I really want to see them lose that game

Apparently it is - they list the whole streak.

Have to check who is favored by the bookies....

So much for you being Mr. "none of the Above" - sounds like you are a Kerry man.

Not that I am surprised, mind you.

BTW: Before you put bad words (or the slightly altered versions) on my site - you should be more sure you are correct.

I'm just sayin'...

kerry's a wimp and bush is a moron.

actually, head over to new times and read the cover story. it acutally does a good job of explaining my position.

also, i'm not a real redskins fan. you gotta love the workhorse mentality of brett favre and the packers.

in an election year, no body is just a sports fan.
