Just in case I will point out this link. http://www.snopes.com/politics/bush/hurricane.asp The author of this site writes (with an definitive tone of voice): "Observations regarding which states the hurricanes might have hit before or after touching Florida are similarly silly.... George Bush won all the states on the Atlantic coast north of Florida up to the Virginias, all the states west of Florida clear over to Texas, as well as every other state in the South. Unless a hurricane miraculously skipped several hundred miles overland all the way from Florida to New Mexico or Illinois, without touching any intervening states, any other state it hit was bound to be one that voted Republican in 2000." Hmmm. Perhaps that's why God placed hurricanes almost exclusively in the southeastern US? :-) Enquiring minds want to know! -- Christopher D.
