Odd presidential election predictors
Who needs polls and political science models when you have squirrels and cookies to predict elections?
World Series: In most election years, if an American League team wins the World Series, a Republican wins, and if a National League team wins, a Democrat gets into office. This predictor hasn't been completely accurate dating back to 1908, but it has been correct for the last three elections, according to CNN. Since the Giants won, that predicts an Obama victory.
