Today:

Houston Texans 20 - Jacksonville Jaguars 6

Dallas Cowboys 31 - Detroit Lions 21

Pittsburgh Steelers 34 - New England Patriots 13
(so far)

TX teams win, MA team loses => GWB victory Tuesday

I find it interesting that if this was such a phenomena, why is this the first time we've ever heard about it, and why is it the first time the media ever reported.

[Let's Roll]

BUT someone pointed out recently that the Skins no longer play in DC but in Maryland - the plot thickens.

[mabelkitty]

Depends.
How much money was at stake if the Skins won? Would there be a huge payoff?

[xp38]

More like as Mork from Ork said..the plot clots. Anyone consider the bellweather streak of Missouri? A bit more relevant to election outcomes than football scores.

[The KG9 Kid]

Where are you going to be election eve?

[mabelkitty]

No Democrat gets into the White House without Missouri?

[doug from upland]

Upland. I couldn't get a flight. :) It was only once, and I was just showing how silly these supposed streaks are. I went to bed sick to my stomach thinking Gore had won.

[xp38]

Something like that but it works both ways. I don't know how far back the streak goes but Missouri has gone with winner for a long time.

[mabelkitty]

That would be Ohio.
No President gets into the White House without winning Ohio.

[Timmy]

Do we really need something this stupid "debunked?"

[MHGinTN]

Worth? ... Soemone needs to contact that partisan political hack, Oberman at MSNBC, and inform him that his little effort to lie for his demi-god has been blown wide open. Keith is typical of the partisan BM (big media) stinking up the airways.

[unspun]

Good grab. Pinging the Wisconsin list would have been a good touch, but nice grab.

[alydar]

I e mailed a couple libs today telling them the very same thing. Redskins lost, you win, so just stay home. Why fight the crowds?

[mabelkitty]

Weatherman is predicting rain, cold, and the weatherman said, "raw" for Tuesday.
This is for Cleveland, Ohio.
Now that is something to celebrate.

[rdl6989]

On a slightly different note, Maybe the Boston Redsox Championship will ease the pain of Kerry being obliterated at the polls.

[oldpath]

This is Gods way of saying He is in this election! Red Sox miraculously win the World Series. The dem running is more liberal than ted kennedy! The UN is irrelevant! The President is a practicing Christian! Hollywood is mesmerized!The MSM is losing it's grip on the Sheeple!

All past precedents are non factors! The foundations are broken, The wheels are fallen off, so get ready for the ride of your Life! The President will win re-election! All the peripherals are just a prelude to a Victory by the sovereign hand of God!!!
