It’s the “Redskins Rule.” Apparently, this has been going on for a while in that if the Washington Redskins win their home game before the Presidential Election, the incumbent party stays in the White House. Of the last 17-of-18 home games in Washington for the Redskins, that theory has come true.
The only exception came in 2004 when George W. Bush was able to beat John Kerry in 2004 despite the Redskins losing. However, with the Redskins losing to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, it could mean a victory for Mitt Romney, who is going against Barack Obama.
Judging to previous Redskins games, it may come true. However, I still think Obama will win. Maybe there might have been a shift for the rule involving re-elections. Bush was able to win as he was trying to get re-elected, there for going against the Redskins Rule. Obama can do that as well, as he looks to get four more years as President.
However, if Romney is elected as the new President come Tuesday, he surely needs to thank Cam Newton and his Panthers.
