Dean Wins!!!

Via Tom Tommorrow (how does he find so many gems?) A great bit of alternate history: The election of Howard Dean.

kerry loses

I wrote a 1,000 word thing and it just disappeared when I tried to post it. Fuck it. We lost. The evil shitbags won. Every single person who cast a vote for Bush will pay for it. It's their air, water, food, TV, too.
Let them choke on it.

You can almost hear the entire country holding its breath.

The Most Accurate Indicator??

This is my 101st post to this blog and I thought it was fitting to do 2 things. First, my predictions for tommorrow.
Kerry by 5 points. He takes Pennsylvania, Florida, Wisconsin, and MAYBE Ohio.
Dems go up by 1 seat in Senate and Repubs hold the House by 5. (5 is the magic number this year)
I think we'll know Kerry won tommorrow before midnight.
HOWEVER, it wouldn't surprise me to see Bush's people trying REAL hard to roll back Kerry's win. We'll see.

Second I would like to post what is probably the stupidest, yet weirdly accurate indicator of elections: The fate of the Washington Redskins.

Washington Redskins vs. The President
Wisconsin supporters of John Kerry and John Edwards had an extra reason to cheer the Packers victory over the Redskins today: over the past 17 presidential elections, the outcome of the Redskins' final home game has determined the outcome of the election. According to history, if the Redskins win, the incumbent president remains in office. If they lose, the challenger wins.
How the Washington Redskins franchise fared the game before presidential elections, and the elections' outcomes:
2000: Tennessee 27, Redskins 21... Democrats lose White House (George W. Bush defeats Al Gore)
1996: Redskins 31, Indianapolis 16... Democrats keep it (Bill Clinton defeats Bob Dole)
1992: New York Giants 24, Redskins 7... Republicans lose it (Clinton defeats George H.W. Bush)
1988: Redskins 27, New Orleans 24... Republicans keep it (Bush defeats Michael Dukakis)
