According to this, the Washington Redskins carried some rather ominous signs for the Republican Party off the football field. The ‘Skins were defeated by the Pittsburgh Steelers last night 23-6. The last 16 of 17 times the Redskins won their game prior to Election Day, the incumbent party maintained the White House. Since they lost (rather horribly, I might add), history shows there should be a transfer of political power in the Oval Office. The only time this did not hold true was when the Green Bay Packers defeated the Redskins in 2004 and Dubya barely snagged re-election for a second term. This may have been the one and only time I have rooted for the Steel City.
