The Redskins Rule

Thanks to Traci for making me aware of this consistent predictor of the presidential election:

Since the Redskins became the Redskins in 1933, the result of the team's final home game before the presidential election has correctly predicted the White House winner. If the Redskins win, the incumbent party wins. If they lose, the incumbent party is ousted.

This year, the game is on Sunday and the Redskins are playing the Green Bay Packers. Word has it that the Packers are the favorite to win. Go Packers!
