Does Redskin Loss Have Anything To Do With Election?

It was a toss up as to which catagory I put this in, so I picked this one. So do you believe in this? I haven't done any research on this article, so I'd have to say no. I'm not really a supersticious person.

LANDOVER, Md. -- For superstitious John Kerry supporters, Sunday's Washington Redskins defeat is reason to celebrate. Equally superstitious supporters of President George W. Bush have cause to worry.

Ever since 1936, the outcome of the Redskins' last home game before the presidential election reflected the White House winner. The tradition has developed that when the Redskins win, so does the incumbent.

But the Redskins lost to Green Bay Sunday, 28-14.

No I think it's just a coincidence...even though at times I've been known to be superstitious.

Why am I hearing so much about this today? They just showed a stat the other day showing that Bush would win because the Red Sox did soemthing another...whoever figured this out has no life whatsoever.

I don't think they have any connection...UNLESS....the underground organization which secretly controls the government decides who will become president based on the game's outcome >_>
