COCKROACH DERBY TO DETERMINE NEW JERSEY ELECTION?
LIVINGSTON, N.J. (Wireless Flash) Politics can be a rat race, but in Livingston, New Jersey, its a cockroach race. Tomorrow the town will host the 12th annual New Jersey Cockroach Derby, and organizers claim the race is 80 percent accurate in determining the outcome of political elections. They plan to put it to the test to predict the winner of New Jerseys gubernatorial race by pitting a roach named McGreevey against one named Shundler. The bugs are named after New Jersey candidates Jim McGreevey and Bret Schundler. Last years cockroach race was held between presidential cockroaches Gore and Bush and Gore won the race by just an antenna.
