Liverlips Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 In history, the Washington game before the election has some significance. If Washington wins, the party in office stays. If Washington loses, a new party takes over. Looks like the Steelers are killing them. Ironic. Look it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavez Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Yeah, I'd love to see somebody prove causation on that one. Interesting coincidence, nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitansFan Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I thought it was the political party who won the popular vote the previous election, not necessarily the incumbant party. I haven't actually looked into it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimm74 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 not in 2000. need to win the electoral college, Bush won the popular vote last election.......can we get a translator on how the heck they twisted this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitansFan Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Ok, I went back and checked the last 5 elections ('88 through '04), and it did work the way I thought. If Washington won, the party who won the popular vote in the previous election will win the current election. Guessing it holds true for the 12 before that also, just too lazy to look.

Chavez Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 How about we just file it under "interesting coincidence" and forget about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
