They said that no one has ever come back from being behind 3 games to none in the Major Leagues. Then the Red Sox showed it could be done. Then they said they couldn’t win against New York, because they never had since Babe Ruth was sold to the Yankees. Wrong again. Then they said that in every World Series since the curse when they were up against the Cardinals, they lost in game 7. Well, they not only didn’t lose, but there was no game 7!
Said all that to say this: the conventional wisdom is that, every home game right before a Presidential election, if the Redskins lost, the incumbent party was always defeated. George W. Bush has made history by breaking this pattern. Late last night, Ohio was called for the President. He not only won Ohio, but Nevada as well, putting him over the top. At the end of the day, when all the votes are in, he may have gotten 285 or more Electoral votes! He has also won the popular vote by a decisive margin.
So much for sport politics!
Update: With all the votes counted, the President has New Mexico and Iowa, for 286 Electoral votes!
