Aloysius Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Wow, I was very surprised-- the Carolina Panthers actually beat the Washington Redskins today, in their last home game before the election. This bodes well for all you Romney fans, because in every election since 1940, when that happens the party that won the popular vote in the previous election loses. (Obama won the popular vote in 2008 ) http://www.cracked.com/article_20139_6-bizarre-factors-that-predict-every-presidential-election_p2.html Obama's still got the Halloween Masks, the location of the Summer Olympics, and the Kids' election going for him, but the Halloweeen streak only goes back to 1980, and the kids have been wrong about 2 of the past 17 elections. So which streak will break? I was actually expecting the Panthers to lose, I was going to come taunt everyone about it lol, but now it looks like the Panthers have given you hope for winning yet!

Aloysius Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 haha I like the ones in the cracked article best, except their lame attempt to make one up with the Oscar thing... basically admitted they were just being a vague Nostradamus by not actually predicting this one and saying they'd fill it in after the election lol. the height thing seems too scientific and much less of a fun streak haha. what's this about left handedness?

homeschoolmom Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Well, I'm thinking the mask one was due to the fact that an Obama second term is freaky scary (and isn't that what Halloween is about?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aloysius Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 So of the last 6, 4 have been lefties... that is a bit statistically strange... but I dunno, if W was a righty, then 1/3 of the last 3 Republican Presidents were righties and Romney winning would just make it half... hmmm...

[/quote] A good point. Rumour I am reading right now is that Reagan was naturally left handed, but compelled by early teachers to learn to write right handed. So often considered ambidextrous.[quote name='homeschoolmom' timestamp='1352080449' post='2504216'] According to wikipedia, Reagan was ambidextrous. Have fun with that! [/quote] Great minds, HSM...

Ed Normile Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 The real scary thing is that there are people out there that might just think a coincidence is some sort of omen or fact. I would never have even considered this, its more important to me that Obama is so under-handed. ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
