Will the superbowl decide the winning candidate?

[Sparky McGruff]

Kerry just remarked how the NE Patriots made it to the Superbowl, and his winning the Iowa caucuses is "sending him to the Superbowl".

Edwards came in second, and the Carolina Panthers are Superbowl bound as well.

So, will the Superbowl decide the candidate who makes it to the "election superbowl"? Okay, silly question. But it's an interesting question... maybe?

1. Interesting Super Bowl Corollary...

When a team from the "old" NFL (including the Colts and Steelers) wins, the Stock Market invarriably goes up during the year. But when a team from the old AFL (including the Patriots) wins, it invarriably goes down during the ensuing year. The Panthers may win, but, though they're an NFC team, they are an "expansion" team--and so not an "original Old NFL" team. But if the Pats win...hmmm...:eyes:

Not sure what the corollary is for the presidential race and the Super Bowl, but, usually (except for 1980, and for the years FDR and the Yankees both won) when the National League team wins the World Series, the Democrat wins, and when the American League team wins, a Repub wins. So I'm pulling for the National League Champion to win the Series next fall..oh, yes, and the Panthers to win the Super Bowl!:bounce:
