Why you need to root for the Green Bay Packers on Sunday!!!
I read about this once. Its kind of strange. Here is an excerpt.

"Want a sign of who'll win the election? A clue may not be only in the polls, but on the scoreboard. Sunday the Washington Redskins host the Green Bay Packers.

In a bizarre statistical correlation, when Washington wins its home game before a presidential election, so does the incumbent president."

I know my Packers will save us from Bush and Wisconsin will go Kerry on Tuesday!!!

5. As a Vikings fan, that'll be tough
but I'll do it! Actually, if the Vikings are having a bad year, then I usually root for GB to go all the way. I lived out in Redskins country for a while and learned to dislike them immensely -- do you have any idea what it is like to be watching your favorite TV show and have it interrupted by "breaking news" "Norv Turner may be fired!"???

LOL

8. c'mon, snap out of it
This is so silly I can't believe I am wasting bandwidth to respond. If you search hard enough, you can always find something that "has always predcited the results of the elction." Given almost countless events to consider and a comparatively tiny number of presidential elections, it is an absolute certainty that you will find hundreds of such "predictors" that were "always right".
