The presidential election isn't until Tuesday, but the "Redskins rule" has already determined the winner: Mitt Romney. Why? Because the Carolina Panthers beat the Washington Redskins on Sunday, of course. Duh.
It only makes sense that the outcome of an NFL game involving the team based in the nation's capital (or, these days, in nearby Landover, Md.) would determine who would be living at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Actually, it doesn't make any sense at all. But somehow or another, it almost always seems to work out that if the Redskins win the last home game they play before a presidential election, the incumbent party gets the victory that Tuesday -- and vice versa.

FOOTBALL: LSU vs. Alabama Game
Since 1984, the winner of the Louisiana State University vs. Alabama game has accurately predicted the winner of the presidential election. If LSU wins, a Republican takes office. If Alabama wins, a Democrat takes office.
Verdict: President Obama

Sadly I think we won't know for sure who wins until December at the earliest maybe Jan.
At least I don't have to vote with this on the wall unlike people in Philly.
GO Mitt

Most actual factor lean Romney because Obama, who recently said the vote in the most powerful thing in our democracy, ran against 70% plus of the electorate to ram Obamacare down our throats and up our butts and played the rock star instead of working on jobs, the economy and working with any of the Republican measures for "We The People".
Does anyone even care that Obama has dedicated the equivilent of 3 full weeks playing golf? That comes out to 45 complete days of daylight while some communities were picking up debris from storms prior to Sandy. Now that he has made his visit to NJ, where the hell is FEMA? Remember if we get Obama again, we get Napolitano, Sebelius and Geithner all over again for another dismal, dividing four years!
