FORGET THE POLLS

There are other ways to predict whether Bush or Kerry will be our President for the next four years.

Some of these very unofficial methods of prognostication may seem, at first glance, a little . . . well . . . weird. But when you look at their records of success over the years, they just may have a little more going for them than you might think.

Brett Favre - Kingmaker?
In the previous 15 Presidential elections, when the Washington Redskins have lost their last home game prior to the election, the incumbent party has lost the White House. On the other hand, when they've won, the incumbent has enjoyed four more years in office.

So what does this have to do with Brett Favre? It just so happens that this year, the Redskins host Green Bay on Oct. 31st, just two days before the election.

ADVANTAGE: could depend on the instant replay

Halloween Masks
For almost thirty years, costume sellers have reported that the total sales of rubber masks of the candidates have been an accurate gauge of who will win the election.

According to BuyCostumes.com, the online arm of Wisconsin-based costume marketer Buyseasons, Inc., Bush masks have outsold those of Kerry by a 55 percent to 45 percent margin. But we did note that on their site, Kerry masks were out of stock. A last minute rush, perhaps?

ADVANTAGE: Bush

The Kid Vote
Pollsters take heed! Since 1988, Nickelodeon has held a Kids' Vote in every election year and the youngsters are batting 1,000.

This year? If it were up to the kids, John Kerry would be the next U.S. President by a margin of 57 percent to Bush's 43 percent.

ADVANTAGE: Kerry

The Dow Jones
Historically speaking, a bad year for the Dow generally means sayonara for the sitting President. During years in which the Dow has fallen by 10 percent or more, the incumbent party has been bounced from the White House every time. This year, the Dow is down from January but not a full 10 percent. In January of this year the Dow was right at 10,400. As of October 21st it sits at 9865 - a decline to be sure but less than 10 percent.

ADVANTAGE: Bush

The Presidential Height Index (or PHI for short)
Since the advent of television in presidential races, the taller candidate has won every single race except one. In 1976, 5-foot-9 Jimmy Carter toppled Gerald Ford, a former football player who stood 6-foot-2.

If the pattern holds, there's no question who will win in November. Kerry stands at 6-foot-5 while Bush is 5-foot-11.

ADVANTAGE: Kerry

The Hemline Hypothesis
It looks as if fashion can, indeed, play a role in Presidential politics. As a general rule, rising hemlines have suggested that a Democrat will win while longer skirts suggest a Republican in office. For example, Republicans dominated in the 19th century when dresses were to the floor but during World War II, Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt persevered as fabric shortages sent hemlines higher.

In the 1960s, when John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson reigned, miniskirts were the rage but long dresses became popular by the time Nixon, a Republican was elected.

And this year? Hemlines are up once again.

ADVANTAGE: Kerry

Sylvester Stallone's Mother's Dogs
No, we're not kidding. According to a story in the Los Angeles Times recently, psychic dogs belonging to actor Sylvester Stallone's mother have projected President George Bush the winner in November, beating Kerry by a full 15 percent.

Jackie Stallone said her animals also predict that California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will take advantage of a future constitutional amendment allowing foreign-born U.S. citizens to serve as president, and take on Kerry's running mate, John Edwards, in the presidential campaign of 2008. However, the dogs can't tell yet who will win that race.

Jackie's dogs apparently have a good record of prognostication, foreseeing that Bush would win in 2000 and that Schwarzenegger would win the California Governor's race by a wide margin.

On the other hand, however, the LA Times noted that the dogs predicted Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant would go to prison.

Jackie Stallone has said her dogs channel messages from the spirit world and send them to her telepathically.

ADVANTAGE: Bush
