Packers over Redskins = Kerry over Bush

We should thank the Packers!

John Kerry supporters have a welcome omen for their candidate: The Green Bay Packers defeated the Washington Redskins yesterday.

If history holds, the 28-14 result portends a victory for Kerry tomorrow because the result of the Redskins' final home game before the presidential election has always accurately predicted the White House winner. If the Redskins win, the incumbent party wins. If they lose, the incumbent party is ousted.

"Oh, yeah, he's going to win. It's guaranteed," said Packers safety Darren Sharper, a Kerry supporter. "I don't have to vote now. Don't even have to go to the polls. Saved me a trip."

The streak began in 1933, when the Boston Braves were renamed the Redskins. Since then, beginning with Franklin Roosevelt's re-election in 1936, the trend has held, including a 2000 Redskins loss to the Tennessee Titans that predicted George W. Bush's win over Al Gore.

In contrast, the kids' poll in "Highlights" magazine, which has accurately predicted the winner of each presidential election since 1956, has picked Bush as the winner. Either way, an incredibly silly way to predict the election results will have a winning streak come to an end.
