Washington Redskins Lost Their Last Game: Does This Mean Obama Will Win?

Redskins Loss - The Redskins loss Monday night may have predicted an Obama win. They were crushed by the Steelers 23-6. That's why the Redskins fan holding up the Obama sign is cheering even though his Redskins lost the game!

For 16 of the last 17 elections, when the Redskins win their last game before election day, the incumbent party wins the White House. If they lose, the opposition party wins the White House. Since the Redskins lost their last game before the election, do you think this means that the Democratic Nominee, Obama, will win the White House this year? I think that it does. What do you think?

I've always liked that stat... Years past you could count on that game to help you bet on the election. This year, however, with the lead Obama had going in, I used it to help me bet against the Skins :)

lol. Great strategy! But then again, the Pittsburgh Steelers have pretty much always been an excellent team. It's too bad their QB got hurt, though. He's gonna be out of commission for a bit, but I am hoping the Steelers can hang on.

Wow i have ever heard of/ realized this. How interesting. It's either the biggest coincidence ever, or some odd cosmic link between FeDex field and Pennsylvania Avenue... creepy.
