Week 9 Results: 4-10 (29%)
Overall Results: 65-65 (50%)

All the parity in the NFL this year, and I am exactly at .500 at a little over the half-way mark.

Really bad week for picking who I wanted to win, but two of them, are the ones I really needed to happen! Bears win and Packers lose.

Otherwise, the Patriots, representing liberal New England lose right before he election, just as they did four years ago.

The Redskins vs. Steelers MNF game got a lot of attention in regards to historical trends with past Redskins seasons. We were told Republicans should root for the Redskins to win.

But I did not do so, and they lost anyway. However, they were supposed to win for Republicans four years ago, and they lost, and we still won. The Steelers, Rush Limbaugh's favorite team, won this week, as they won before the election four years ago, so all is well.

Four years ago, with George W. Bush on the ballot, the Texas teams won, and this week, the Arizona Cardinals won big... perhaps another omen.

True, the Bears won, Coach Lovie Smith is an Obama supporter, but the legendary Mike Ditka, Da True Coach, campaigned alongside Sarah Palin this week, so we Republicans need to keep that in mind. Also, the very talented, but very liberal Bears QB Kyle Orton was injured and had to be carted off the field to the dismay of crestfallen Chicagoans. Let's hope the feeling is duplicated in Grant Park tomorrow night.

Corey, this is Conservative Democrat:

My FINAL predictions for tonight:

White House: TOSS-UP, could go either way, but McCain is likely to hold onto Ohio and Florida.

Colorado will decide who wins this election, but Virginia is all but certain being cemented as a BLUE STATE.

House: Democrats gain 27 more House seats.

2008 United States Senate:
61 Democrats-CO, New Mex., VA, NH, OR, AK, NC, Minn, GA and KY
39 Republicans

*Lieberman is staying put, but will NOT be chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, instead he will chair a subcommittee, serving out his 4th term and is likely to RETIRE in 2012 being replaced by either Connecticut State Treasurer Denise Nappier (D) or US Rep. Chris Murphy (D-CT).

why would you pick teams winning or losing based on whether that team represents a "liberal" area like New England (shout out to Chris Shays)? Shouldn't you pick teams based on deciding which which is the better team on the field.
