The Redskin rule
In response to our blog entry, "Red Sox win = Kerry win?" reader Eric Dickey wrote:
"I think it all hinges on the Redskin's football game on 10/31...It's called the Redskin Rule. If the Redskins win their last home game before the election, the incumbent party is re-elected. If they lose, the other party is brought into power. It's worked since it started back in 1940. They are 16 for 16 in deciding who the president will be. This year the deciding game is Packers v. Redskins."
All together now: GO PACKERS!
