Some statistician said that there's a 3.9% chance of that happening. Maybe that's what the signs are pointing to? CW

Some statistician said that there's a 3.9% chance of that happening. Maybe that's what the signs are pointing to? While this is possible if the EV is tied, the only way its possible is if the senate goes democratic. In a tie, the newly elected house selects the president (bush since republicans will regain control). The senate then selects the VP between cheney and edwards. They will select cheney unless something strange happens and republicans lose the senate. I have no idea what happens if the senate is 50/50. Do they wait until the house selects the VP then have the VP cast the deciding vote?

Terry Tate Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 I ordered a pepperoni pizza yesterday, and they made one with ham on it instead. Does that mean interest rates are going to go up?

THAT would be some funny stevestojan! We'd hear the Dems crying big time on that one. p.s. KzooMike --- just testing it out

Dan Gross Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 On ESPN, Boomer made the point that it wasn't Katherine Harris but Al Harris that sealed the victory for Kerry, er, Green Bay... wonder if they're related?

The real question is when this "trend" first came about. It's pretty easy to try to look back at possible sports/political correlations and then try to make predictions based on that. There's two things here. The Redskins and any other team do better at home than on the road on average. The incumbant party wins more often than it loses... so it's easy to see why these things go together.
