Red Sox owner John Henry, left, supports Sen. John Kerry, and pitcher Curt Schilling, right, has endorsed President Bush.

(CNN) -- Sen. John Kerry and President Bush called in baseball figures to pitch for their campaigns Sunday, looking to capitalize on the national pastime.

Fresh from a World Series victory, the Boston Red Sox management planned to endorse Kerry. Principal owner John Henry, co-owner Tom Werner and general manager Theo Epstein were scheduled to join the candidate Sunday at a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire.

On the subject of sports... I heard that whenever the Redskins lose right before an election the incumbent loses... I hope that's not true!

As if the poor people of Florida haven't suffered enough...Only a few weeks
after the string of devastating hurricanes, Charley, Ivan, and Jeanne, The
National Weather Service has just announced yet another disastrous "ill
wind" approaching Florida. After Jeanne, comes Kerry. It is dangerous, and
highly unpredictable - first going one direction, then another.
They say your only protection will be to get behind a Bush.

The odd statistic, is that in the past 16 election years, If the redskins win their last home game before the election, the incumbent (party) wins, if they lose their last home game before the election, the incumbent loses. Strange but true.

I've lived near DC most of my life and never heard that.

You can't imagine how hard this past weekend was for me, as a Democrat and a Redskins fan. Not that we had much of a chance against Green Bay anyway, but I never like to root for my team to lose.

I live right outside DC and all I keep hearing on the news is about that strange coincidence about the Redskins performance and the elections. Since they lost, I am hoping that this year will prove that whole superstition wrong.

Well, two streaks have already gone down: The Sox losing streak and the Pats winning streak. I think it is time for the Skins "election-predicting" streak to break as well.
