On the one hand, the Redskins lost on Sunday. Lore has it that a Redskins loss/victory the Sunday before election day corresponds to a loss/victory for the incumbent President. The loss was not without
controversy, however. This doesn't bode well for a smooth electoral process, regardless of outcome.
On the other hand, this is the year that the Red Sox came back from a 3-game deficit to defeat the Yankees in the ALCS and went on to win the freaking World Series, so I tend to think this is not the year to count on the sports-related predictor.
