Which direction will the country go tonight at the polls? The LEFTwich direction.
Steelers backup quarterback Byron Leftwich came off the bench to throw two touchdowns to lead the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 23-6 victory over the Washington Redskins. Ironically enough, Steelers starting quarterback Ben Rothlinsberger, a far right kook, was injured during the game and had to leave.
The margin of the game was 17 points. 17 is a significant number when it comes to games played at home by the Redskins prior to an election.
For the last 17 presidential elections, if the Redskins won that last home game prior to Election Day, the party in power won. But if the Redskins lost that last home game prior to Election Day, the opposing party won.
With the Steelers victory, this means Barack Obama will be the next President of the United States. It will be 18 presidential elections in a row where this statistical anomaly becomes reality.
Now stop listening to this Steelers fan from Ohio and go out and vote.
