The Redskins had a late touchdown stolen from them because of a highly questionable penalty, a touchdown that would have (with the extra point) given them the lead. It seems only right, given the questionable way that the Republicans won the 2000 election, that the pro-Republican result of the game would be decided in a similar fashion.

I just checked that Snopes link. They’ve already updated it with Green Bay’s victory! It wouldn’t seem to me that a website like Snopes would concern itself with posting updates all that quickly.

Do we still have to vote on Tuesday if the outcome has already been decided?

I mentioned this in the Pit thread.

What I’m wondering is why this wasn’t a big deal 3 weeks ago with you people grasping at straws?

Bush to re-election, and the Pack to the SB. (And the Mandatory Minnesota Midseason Meltdown is underway) 3M Corp forgot a letter. 😉

[I did mention it three weeks ago](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=280405). (Well, 20 days ago. Close enough.) 😛
