Fate Of Presidential Race Could Rest In Steelers’ Hands

Funny stuff from Pittsburgh’s WTAE-TV:

Next Monday, the Pittsburgh Steelers will try to beat the Washington Redskins on the road and hold onto a one-game lead in the AFC North Division — but that’s far from the most important thing at stake.

The result of the Redskins’ final home game before Election Day has accurately predicted the winner in 17 of the past 18 presidential elections.

If the Redskins win, the incumbent political party stays in the White House. But if they lose, the incumbent party is voted out.

So, rooting for the Steelers next week will be like rooting for Obama. I’m sure that this twofer is something that a lot of Steelers Nation will cheer about.
