17/18 using the original rule (winner of previous election loses if Redskins lose), 18/18 if using the modified Rule (winner of previous popular vote’s party’s candidate loses if Redskins lose).
The Redskins Rule has a far better track record than the pollsters and pundits.
I credit the modified Rule’s success to the fact that while the pundits use twisted and/or false logic, the Rule uses no logic whatsoever.
No logic > false/twisted logic, right?
18/18 since 1940. What a silly and wonderful little thing. I’m not superstitious, but still find it a fascinating thing.
How silly and wonderful life’s little quirks can be :)
“The Redskins Rule has a far better track record than the pollsters and pundits.”
I think that things are lining up for Romney. The University of Colorado model points to a Romney victory and has been accurate since its inception in 1980. Wayne Allyn Root, the Vegas oddsmaker, says that Romney will win by a large margin.
I do think that the NFL Redskins Rule just may be God’s way of telling us ahead of time what is going to happen.
Still, we all need to get out and VOTE on Tuesday. By the way, the Republicans are 250,000 votes ahead of where they were four years ago in early voting. 0bozo won by 260,000 there last time. I am confident about Ohio, too. Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, and Colorado will all go Romney. Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and even Minnesota are in play, as well as Michigan.
