Election Day Trend

Well, I know I missed the boat yesterday, but I literally worked 7am-9pm so hopefully I can be forgiven. But here's a quick stat that is pretty crazy:

For each of the last 17 elections, when the Washington Redskins win their last home game before the election the incumbent party will retain their seat in the White House. If they lose, the incumbent party will also find their way out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

So if you were watching Monday Night Football last night, you saw the Pittsburgh Steelers defeat the Redskins and you already know that Barack Obama will be our next President. It should be interesting to see if this trend holds up.

Go out and vote- it really can make a difference.
