Yahoo! News - Redskins Loss: Bad News for Bush, Touchdown Kerry
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Washington Redskins lost their final home football game before the U.S. presidential election on Sunday -- and that's great news for Democratic Sen. John Kerry and bad news for President Bush.

In every presidential election since 1936, the Redskins' last home game has accurately predicted the winner. If they win, the incumbent president's party wins. If they lose, the challenger wins.

The Redskins lost to Green Bay 28-14 and Kerry quickly celebrated.

"I think it's a good tradition to follow," Kerry told reporters on his campaign plane. "I think the country should stay with tradition, don't you?"

So all you Republicans can just stay home tomorrow! Brett Farve has saved the free world!
