Republican will have to cheer for Cam Newton (Redskins Rule)

[skrayper77]

There's a formula that shows a correlation between the Redskins final home game before Election Day, and the election itself.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/nov/03/redskins-rule-ideal-for-monday-night/

Here's it in a nutshell:
If the Redskins win, the incumbent stays in office.
If they lose, the challenger takes over.

This has been 17 of 18 (or 18 of 18, as the lone exception was when Bush lost the popular vote, but took office).

So while Democrats will be cheering on RGIII, unfortunately Republicans will have to cheer for Cam Newton... as Nov 4 is a home game against the Carolina Panthers.

What happens in the event of a tie?

You guys definitely don't want to hear the Alabama/LSU rule when it comes to an election.

Well, I don't know about you, but I know where my priorities are.

Refresh my memory.

More recent than the Redskins situation, but since '84, if Alabama wins the game, a Democrat wins. If LSU wins, a Republican wins.

There is a similar tendency for Alabama to win championships with a Democrat in the White House

What is the deal if Bama beats LSU twice in the same calendar year?

 

[CrimsonChuck]

First he cheated to win the national championship, and now he gets to decide the election too? That just isn't fair. :biggrin2:

Oh Crap!!

So if Bama and the Panthers both win, does that mean that the world will end on Election Day?

Yes, a Football Paradox. World implodes.

Two negatives = a positive.

Both of these did happen, so this can only mean one thing...

I would like to congratulate our next President of the United States, Lyndon LaRouche. :biggrin2:

Oh, no! Aliens, bio-duplication, nude conspiracies... Oh my God! Lyndon LaRouche was right!

Not to be a nitpicker but put two negatives together and you get a larger negative.:eek2:
