Go Skins!

Luckily for Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.), most of his Georgetown neighbors don't watch much local television in Wisconsin.
Edwards broke the news Tuesday to WKBT-TV, the CBS affiliate in LaCrosse, that he and his family plan to root for the Greenbay Packers on Oct. 31 when they face the Redskins.
The reason: According to his interviewer, since 1932, each time the Redskins have won their final game before Election Day, the incumbent president has prevailed. So a Packers victory would bode well for John F. Kerry and his running mate.
Edwards said his young children already have Packers jerseys and cheesehead hats from a previous visit to the state.
"We are for the Packers, period," he said.
