The so called Redskins presidential indicator was broken when the ‘Skins lost their last home game before the election in 2004 yet GWB still won the election.
That is incorrect. Gore won the POPULAR vote, and his party lost the popular vote in 2004. The 'Skins indicator lives on.
BUT!!!! The Lakers streak is still alive. Every election year the LA Lakers made it to the NBA Finals, a Republican won the White House (1968, 1972. 1980, 1984, 1988, 2000, 2004). The Lakers made it to the NBA Finals in 2008! :-D
