<snip>
What do we make of all this? Nothing. We see it as coincidence, as evidence that anyone who tries long and hard enough can find apparent patterns in any collection of data. But for those who believe in this sort of thing, the Redskins' last home game before the 2 November 2004 election is a Halloween Day contest against the Green Bay Packers — Republican supporters will be rooting for the Redskins, and Democratic supporters will become Cheeseheads for a day.

5. I am a HUGE Redskins fan

And for once, I hope they can choke when it matters most

[BeyondThePale]

6. I haven't forgotten that the Redskins

broke Bart Starr's jaw in a dirty play many years ago.

GO PACK GO!

[ClintonTyree]

7. It don't mean a thing...................

The Red Sox broke "the curse" this year. It's an anything can happen kinda' year.

8. Keith had something on this last night

Go Packers! This is all the more easier because I hate the Skins anyway.

[Socialist Dem]

9. I'm in Chicago....

and as hard as this might be to say....

GO PAaa....

um

GO PACc....

well, shit! if it makes the football gods help elect Pres. Kerry,

GO PACKERS!!!!

excuse me now while I wash my mouth out with beer. :D

[KharmaTrain]

14. Fail To The Redskins

I know, I can't do it either. Rooting for Bret Farve is like rooting for a root canal. But then the vision of a bawling Mike Ditka comes to mind as the Packers win and I think I'll be just fine...and you should, too. Hell, it's only one game and the Bears already beat the Packers...and now probably won't win a game again for years. Gotta take one for the team, ya know. LOL.

Delicious irony time...I know Favre is a Bushbot...I wonder what would go through his thick cranium if he knows about this story and if it'll affect his game. I sure hope not!

GO PACKERS!!!

18. What beer do you drink?

[BeyondThePale]

21. Leinies!

What else is there. Thank you Chippewa Falls!

[MADem]

10. ANYONE ON THIS BOARD

...who saw OLBERMAN last night WANTS THE REDSKINS TO LOSE. EVEN REDSKINS FANS!

Apparently, when the Redskins win, the incumbent party wins. When they lose, the challenger wins. This has happened for the past seventeen elections!

[Cozmosis]

11. No problem, I hate the Skins!

GO PACK GO!

[eyepaddle]

12. As a lifelong Vikings Fan

I can't believe how much I'm pulling for the Pack! The last couple of weeks the GB offense has been hittin' and stickin' like Popeye's fried Chicken! I think the Redskins are doomed.

After that though...I hope the Packers lose every game! ;)

[exliontamer]

15. I hope Favre doesn't throw it

I'm a huge Packer fan, and they should win this game. I just hope Favre (an avid GOPer) doesn't decide to throw Rove a bone.

They need this game to get to .500 and to have any chance for the playoffs, though, so I think they'll show up.

[LiberalFighter]

19. Is he?? Damn... well can't be as avid as Manning

Peyton Manning gave to gw* according to USA Today.


I checked Brett Favre and didn't find him contributing anything in FUNDRACE or FEC.

The only possibility might be someone named Deanna Favre contributing $250 to a congressional campaign. That doesn't suggest someone in Brett's income level as a serious political activist.

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. Being a Chicago Bears Fan.....THIS hurts!

GO PACKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ouch, ouch, ouch! The pain! The pain! OMG! OMG! OMG!

ANYTHING to get that SOB out of Al Gore's WH.

[exliontamer]

16. If it's any consolation...

I would dutifully take off my Cheesehead and don an old McMahon jersey if the burdon was on the Bears.

Of course, afterward I'd shower about 8 times...

[aldian159]

17. As a fellow Bears fan, I hear you

After I cheer for the Pack, time to take a long, hot shower

[The Magistrate]

22. It Is Hard, My Friend, To Hope For A Packers' Victory

"Just because they're dead don't mean they stopped being Democrats."

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

[MrSlayer]

23. I hate both teams but I'm pulling for the Cheeseheads in this one.

Go Pack!
