we''ll know the winner of this election after the monday night game...

Steelers vs Redskins.

Since the Redskins became the Redskins in 1933, the result of the team''s final home game before the presidential election has correctly predicted the White House winner. If the Redskins win, the incumbent party wins. If they lose, the incumbent party is ousted.

Well fingers crossed the Skins lose, then. Don''t tell my mom I just said that...she loves the Redskins!

As a Cowboys fan this puts me in a VERY akward situation!!!

Not pleased at all...

 

[joflier]

So what would happen if they happened to schedule their bye weekend on the election week?

Here''s hoping the Skins LOSE!!! I live in both Steelers and Skins territory, but DH is a die-hard Steelers fan and so is my boss (both of whom are conservatives). So I guess DH and my boss won''t know who to root for! LOL!

This didn''t work in 2004, so the curse may be broken.

Larry King just announced that the first town in America to vote (Dixville Notch, NH) went Democrat for the first time since 1968 ... Obama 15 votes, McCain 6 votes, Nader 0 ... So goes the rest of the country

Differences in political views aside. I do admire your sense of humor and kindness that you try very hard to hide.
