Alabama win over LSU predicts Obama win!

Alabama's victory Saturday over LSU might be a sign Obama will be re-elected.

"In college football, a Democratic president's best friend is the University of Alabama. In election years since 1984, the winner of the matchup between the Crimson Tide and the Louisiana State University Tigers (playing for the GOP) has predicted the presidential race every four years," the Christian Science Monitor reported.

The report continued: "Alabama, the nation's perennial football powerhouse in recent years and the top team in the country this year, squeaked by fifth-ranked LSU 21-17 in a marquee prime time matchup Saturday night."

OK, it's a meaningless coincidence, but I'll take it.
ROLL TIDE!
