The Washington Redskins have been a forecaster of the last 17 presidential elections. In football circles it's called the 'Redskin Rule'. If the Redskins won the weekend prior to the election, the incumbent party won the election; if they lost, the opposing party took office.
The Redskins lost tonight. Do you believe their streak of predicting the outcome of the election will continue?

If people find comfort in this kind of superstition or whatever you want to call it, who am I to tell them otherwise.
I'm thinking along the lines of this one: If your left palm itches, money is coming your way. If your right palm itches, you'll be shaking hands with a fool.
The question is which will we be doing over the next 4 years.

That's a good one. My left palm has been killing me lately. I thought it was just a rash. Now I know it means Obama is going to win!!

I was pretty conflicted last night because I'm a Skins fan but I wanted to see the trend continue and I believe that Obama will win, too.
