there's a weird football thing with the election. the last Redskins home game before the election has been a predictor of who wins the national election. when the Redskins win, the incumbent (or his party) tend to win and when the Redskins lose, the other party's candidate tends to win. The Redskins have their home game tonight and are playing the Steelers.

it looks like he will win IN and NC and lose MO, while MT is still unknown, so me and flip will be the closest with the actual being either 264 or 267 jam2
