I just read this interesting article about how in election years, people actually buy more RED and BLUE cars. This year, more people have bought red cars, so people are predicting that Romney will win. It's on the Web2Carz website.

its very strange. I'm curious if it is possible for the car-colors statistics to change still, before the election?

Silly correlation. Much like the Super Bowl winner v. Presidential election winner thing.

Yes it is silly but it is fun to talk about. I wonder how many there are
How many what? Random correlations between party of the president elected and just different variables? Infinite.

So, the election is over now.

I proclaim this myth debunked.
