In Washington D.C. people are crazy about two things: politics and the Washington Redskins. That’s why Democrats in the area were so torn last night. The election got all tied up in the Redskins-Steelers game.
 

You see, since 1936, the results of the last Redskins home game before Election Day has correctly predicted the winner of the presidency. The theory goes that if the Redskins win the game, the incumbent party will win the race. It sounds silly, but this little “theory” has proven accurate for 64 years and 17 U.S. presidential elections. However, it seems to only work when no incumbent candidate is running, thus explaining why the Redskins connection failed in 2004. Sure.
 

Anyway, it’s this idea that had D.C. Democrats in such a state of turmoil last night. Did they want their beloved team to win but their beloved candidate to lose or vice versa?
 

As it turned out, the Steelers crushed the Redskins 23-6. Can you say President Obama?
