I was listening to the radio this morning and the sports commentators were pointing out how the Results of the last home game before an election for the Wash Redskins had predicted the last 17 pres elections. ( I did not confirm this)

If Wash won? The party residing currently in the white house won in this case it would be McCain.

If Wash lost, the party that was not is the white house was elected. In this case Obama for those of you in rio linda.

Right now the Redskins are +2 for Monday Night Football tonight.

will the streak end? Who knows............... only the Shadow knows.

They talked about this in the 2004 election cycle. The "Redskins" indicator predicted a Kerry win.
