Redskins loss points to Obama win




Pittsburgh beat Washington in the NFL on Monday for a dominant victory that US presidential candidate Barack Obama will see as a good omen

For all but one of the last 17 presidential ballots, since 1937, a Redskins victory has signalled a win for the party currently in power.

Pittsburgh held Redskins runner Clinton Portis and sacked quarterback Jason Campbell seven times for a 23-6 win.

Interviews with Obama and rival John McCain aired on US TV at half-time.

Democrat candidate Obama - a senator from Illinois, home of the NFL's Chicago Bears - mixed American football and basketball analogies into his interview.

"At this point, not to use sports metaphors, but you've left everything on the field, and now you just gotta see how it turns out," he said.

"I think we've got a great shot, but you don't know until the buzzer sounds."
