Predictors

Is the Redskins rule any sillier than this?

You'll remember the mask predictions from the 2000 Presidential Election, as referred to by many media sources including CNN, the Associated Press, the

Wall Street Journal and USA Today.What is the Presidential Mask Election

Predictor? In 2000, due to the popularity of political masks, BuyCostumes.com

began publishing statistics on each Presidential Candidate's mask sales. It was

soon apparent that the mask sales were as good a resource as the polls being

published by major national media groups. Seeing the similarities, BuyCostumes.com then looked into some data on political mask sales in election years. Not only did they ask five different mask manufacturers, they also spoke with 12 national stores about their sales history all the way back to 1980. Their findings were astounding and right every time....
It looks like Kerry is closing the gap, but Bush is still up 53-47%. Since its likely Bush will win this poll, and the Redskins rule went the other way, something has to give.
