subject: The Washington Redskins Rule.....

From: "Glenn Meadows" 

Think on this:

THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS RULE. This one has an impressive winning
streak--for 72 years, the victory or defeat of the Washington Redskins in
their last game before the election has predicted whether the incumbent
party holds the White House. If the Redskins lose or tie, the incumbent
party loses the election. If the Redskins win, so does the incumbent party.
By any measure the accuracy of the Redskin rule is notable. It has
correlated with presidential electoral outcomes in 18 of the past 18
elections back to Franklin Roosevelt in 1932. ...the "Washington
Redskin Rule" gets a little more respect. The probability of a Redskin
victory or defeat correctly forecasting the presidential election 18
elections in a row has been calculated to be about one in 260 million. For
those who like to mix football with politics, the Redskins' last game
before the election is with the Packers on October 31.

 So, depending on who you're pulling for, pull for either the Redskins, or
the Packers....wonder if the Redskins Rule will "Rule" this time????
