Thiebear Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Well, if the "Redskin Election Prediction" holds true then Romney is going to win in a landslide. And Carolina had a 1n6 economy leading up to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unforgiven Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Well, if the "Redskin Election Prediction" holds true then Romney is going to win in a landslide. It wasn't true in 2004...won't be true in 2012. The rule is dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsFTW Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 It wasn't true in 2004...won't be true in 2012. The rule is dead. Gore won the popular vote on 2000 and the supreme court decided for Bush so maybe they got it wrong, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unforgiven Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 You hope. Nah, has nothing to do with my hope or desire, just the math of the situation. Two more days and we'll see, Redskins Rule vs. Math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Paint Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Wasn't something up with the Redskins game in 2004, like we should've won that game but a ref screwed up real bad and caused us to lose? I remember something like that because I remember Wilbon saying something like, "the Redskins really won that game. Bad ref call caused the loss." You can't make that argument today, unless you count that TD counting after the whistle lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiebear Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Gore won the popular vote on 2000 and the supreme court decided for Bush so maybe they got it wrong, lol. The stat is probably coincidental yet pretty convincing: Since 1940, in 17 of 18 games in which the Redskins won their final home game before the election, the incumbent party has won the White House. When they lose, the challenger wins the presidency http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-400_162-57544564/will-redskins-game-determine-presidential-winner/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A direct cause? It has been a very interesting happenstance, for sure. Even if Obama wins, I think it will still be trotted out in 2016, because 17 of 19 is still a pretty neat correlation.

Predicto Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I continue to think that it is going to be very, very close. There's a lot of not-yet-hatched chickens being counted in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliz Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 For those wanting Obama to win you will love CNBC's Jim Kramer's prediction. He has Obama winning 440 to 98. LOL. Wow. Was he joking? That's even worse than http://unskewedpolls.com/ They have Romney at 359 to 179. My favorite prediction of theirs is Oregon going for Romney, 51-46.

Kilmer17 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/332461/ohio-counts-so-waits-nation-john-fund# Cincinnati, Ohio — If the presidential election goes into “overtime” — if no winner is known on Wednesday morning after the election — the culprits may be procrastinating absentee voters in Ohio. If it goes on beyond that with no decision, it may be due to lawyers from both parties’ fighting trench warfare over individual ballots in a bloody recount. It could easily happen in other states, but the danger of an “overtime” election is perhaps greatest in Ohio. I stand by my prediction. Tomorrow will be an early night, because we wont know for DAYS who has won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmacop Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I disagree with those that think it will be a long night, or a long few days, before we know a winner. While some states may be close, like Florida or Colorado, I think Obama will have won enough other states by at least 2-3 points that it won't matter.

mjah Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I stand by my prediction. Tomorrow will be an early night, because we wont know for DAYS who has won. ...Unless Obama wins either CO or VA, or both, in which case it will already be over regardless of what OH looks like. I'm ignoring things that look frankly unlikely IMO, like Romney winning Iowa/NH or Obama winning Florida (though Obama is less than half a point behind down there). Obama can win just one of CO/OH/VA and the election is basically over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulane Skins Fan Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I for one, just hope there is a clear winner, either way. And I really hope people stop trying to pass last minute laws to change who can and cannot vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I think Obama ends up with 280+. Seems like Iowa and NH are going his way, so if he gets Ohio, it's over. It'll definitely be closer than in 2008, but I believe Obama still comes out on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unforgiven Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 So if he gets NH, VA, and IA would that get him to 270? Not quite. If he were to get VA, NH, IA, NV and WI then he wins without Ohio (or Colorado). http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/11/02/us/politics/paths-to-the-white-house.html That's a good website to test out combinations with.

Predicto Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 So if he gets NH, VA, and IA would that get him to 270? Well, he would still need Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania (or some other combination like that) but if he gets Iowa and Virginia, chances are he is getting those states too.

DCranon21 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Well going by the FiveThirtyEight blog, it seems like Obama has a good chance in all the toss up states except Florida and NC. According to Nate Silver, Florida might not be in the bag for Romney. NC I say will go to Romney, but Florida is at a 55% chance of him winning the state. I bet Florida will go down to the wire.
