Steelers win so McCain will be pres.

[IdahoGrizFan]

I heard that past history shows that if the Redskins win there will be a change in the White House as in one party will be replaced by the other. In other words Obama = Redskin win. McCain = Steeler win.

Final score:

Steelers 23
Redskins 6

We probably don't even have to vote now it's a done deal. :roll:

That predictor didn't work out in '04 either.

No, IdahoGriz, it's the other way around: A Steeler victory means that Obama wins the election.

No, IdahoGriz, it's the other way around: A Steeler victory means that Obama wins the election.

68 is correct. In the last 17 elections for President, if the Redskins won, the party currenty in the White House has retained it.

The Redskins Rule*. It's 'worked' for 17 of 18 elections. As Sundown mentioned, only '04 didn't 'work'.

*When the 'Skins win, the incumbent party wins.

"YOU'LL BE SORRY..." I hear it ringing in my ears....redistribution of wealth = socialism = less freedom = more government = higher taxes = Obama. Oh my.

(CNN) – John McCain may have gotten a bad sign about his White House chances only hours before voters weighed in at the polls

The Washington Redskins, whose pre-Election Day match-ups have a long history of correctly predicting the presidential race, seemed to forecast a victory for Barack Obama Monday night.

For 16 of the past 17 elections, the incumbent party holds on to the White House when the Redskins win their last game before Election Day. When they lose the game, the opposition party has gone on to win the presidential race.

The Pittsburgh Steelers crushed the Redskins Monday night, 23-6, suggesting Barack Obama is poised for a win.

But McCain should not despair — the tradition did not hold true in 2004. Green Bay beat Washington that year, but President Bush narrowly won re-election.

They changed the Rule after 2004. If Redskins win the party that received the most votes four years earlier will receive the most votes. If Redskins lose the party that did not receive the most votes four years earlier will receive the most votes. Thus, when Redskins lost in 2004, Republican candidate received the most votes but did not receive the most votes four years earlier 2000.

Apparently, this rule was the reason that Al Gore won the popular vote in 2000 but not the presidency so that the Redskin loss in 2004 wouldn't screw up the predictor. Thus, it has been correct 17 out of 17 cycles.

We all win, no matter what, George Bush will no longer be in office!
