The Beatle Photo Election Rule

Boy, this Presidential race keeps getting crazier and crazier, doesn't it?

Just when I thought I'd seen it all, here comes ol' Ralph Nader jumping into the fray. Doesn't he know that he can't possibly win? Its absolutely impossible. And I can say that with total certainty because I know what the professional pundits all seem to have forgotten.

That's right - "The Beatle Photo Election Rule".

Back in 1972, Mr. Nader appeared on The Mike Douglas Show with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, who were that week's co-hosts.

The result? Four more years of George Bush.

And how about Gerald Ford? He became President by default, but still you would have thought that even an un-elected incumbent would have beaten Jimmy Carter in the 1976 election. Poor Ford never guessed that this photo would be his undoing:

But of course, Ralph isn't the only one who will fall to The Beatle Photo Rule this election year, is he? Word on the street is that John Edwards dropped out when someone threatened to leak a photo of him with Pete Best, and Hillary's role as a pterodactyl in "Caveman" (see above) knocks her out of the race. And now there's this recently-surfaced photo of Obama:

I guess things are looking pretty good for John McCain.....
