that this should add +1% to WI's Presidential Approval rating!
And a Wisconsin victory should mean a Bush victory.

Out of the last 36 elections (presidential and interim), if the Washington Redskins won, then the incumbent (Bush) would win. They just pointed out in the trailer that "Kerry wins?" caption since they just lost.

Goodbye sKerry!
Is there any validity to my theory that Kerry wearing the Red Soxs' hat will cost him New York?
"So, I guess that means Kerry will need the help of activist Judges to win the election..."
My MAGIC 8 ball says MAYBE......
You are SO RIGHT sonsofliberty. My faith is in a God that can move mountains!! In fact my faith is in the " Mountain MAKER!!!"
"As we Bruins fans say, #4 is Manny Orr!"
In 2000, the Oklahoma Sooners beat the University of Texas Longhorns and have won four more since then. We have come to the conclusion in Oklahoma that President Bush is going to win four more years because we beat them again in October this year. That is five in a row since President Bush received the nomination in 2000!
VP Cheney told all of us in 2002 at the Cole Rally that he picked the Sooners and thanked us for another win -- said he would keep picking them against his boss.
This Redskins/Packers result is a perfect metaphor for the 2004 Election,
Bush will appear to win by a small margin, but then election officials or lawyers step in and reverse a state or 2 and the results favor Kerry.
It's either that or Bush wins going away and this superstition goes the way of the Kerry Presidency-- Down the tubes.
Optimistically I have to believe there are all kinds of election predictors that no one ever talks about anymore because somewhere along the way they went kaput.
I don’t think the Redskins loss is the best predictor. Of far greater historical importance is the fact that no incumbent Republican has lost a presidential election in a year ending in a 4 to a self declared war criminal.
No comment. I am a curse!
36 elections = presidential AND interim elections. Remember? Thats when you vote for Senators and Congressmen between presidential elections.
We did away with one sport's curse this fall, I don't see why another can't fall by the wayside. Just a note, the first time his was recorded was FDR in 32. That represented the birth on modern liberalism. Let this election break that Redskin curse and sound the tolling bells for modern liberalism.
Bush is giving a major stump speech tomorrow morning in Milwaukee. For all of the campaign workers who read this board - he needs to mention the game!! The Redskins thing has been all over the news the past few days, and it needs to be addressed. Work in a comment about the Sox breaking the curse or something, but seriously, people around here don't kid about football and are liable to put a little too much weight on the Packers victory.
--Comments? Suggestions? --
How about the coincidence where Lakers make it to the NBA finals in an election year?
The Sox and Manny Ortiz broke the Curse of the Bambino. This too shall be broken. Besides, Sean David Morton was on Art Bell last week and called a Bush victory.
Pres Bush visited Packer terrority and actually knew the name of the field. Give the President a choice between the Packers and Redskins and I bet he would take the Pack! Could not bring myself to root for the Redskins as a long time Dallas fan and super fan of Roy Williams #31! Don't think the President having lived in Dallas and still in Texas would be much of a Redskins fan -- like not at all!
