Panthers Playing In 2012 Election Game

from the Panthers' schedule:

Sun. Nov. 4 at Washington Redskins FedEx Field 1:00 p.m. FOX

The eyes of the nation will be on Panthers vs. Redskins this season, as the winner of the Redskins' last home game before the presidential election historically correlates very strongly with the outcome of the presidential race. Troubling if you're a Panthers/Obama supporter. Panthers/Romney supporters shouldn't have any mixed feelings, though. Hey, if we're gonna have a hundred different threads about the Madden Curse, this at least deserves a mention.

For the uninitiated (from about.com): "In 18 out of the last 19 elections, when the Redskins have won their final home game prior to the election, the incumbent has held the White House. The one exception to the Redskins Rule was 2004, when the Green Bay Packers beat the Redskins, but John Kerry still went on to lose President Bush. This year the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Washington Redskins in a blowout, portending a possible Obama landslide."
