Bar Room Presidential Picks

11/5/2012 (Updated 10:55:56 PM)

Party regulars have high hopes for their candidates, but is there a way to predict who will win?

Fox40 found some local patrons who had their own way of predicting at Bobby's Place in Endicott.

"One superstition that I am familiar with is around Halloween time. Whichever candidate sells the most masks of their own faces is said to win the election. And, as of right now, I guess Obama is up 60% to 40%," said Brittney Crane.

"One good beer at night, democratic party's gonna fight," said Justin Vandervort.

Another trick, if the beer bottle labels are turned out, people say that means a Democrat will win.
