I thought it was an interesting coincidence that a state with questionable presidential election results would be pummeled by hurricanes just before the next election. Then I thought it was an interesting coincidence that the storms spared Miami, who voted for Gore in 2000. Just out of curiosity, I overlaid two map: one of the tracks of the hurricanes of 2004, and one of the election results of 2000.

This is no longer an interesting coincidence. It is an unmistakable message from God. I hope everyone is listening.

I am listening, and the message is that florida is gonna vote for Bush. His popularity has surged since the hurricanes due to his expedient reaction and decent handling of the crisis. So, adamist, your theory is shit, like most of your other theories (i.e. Klingons choose Kerry, et. al.). Quit being a stooge. Admit that your guy sucks and get on with it. Your party fucked up in the primary, and you cannot handle it, so you are desperately attempting to convince all thirty or so of the people on this site that they should vote for Kerry. As the election draws near, you seem to get more pathetic in your plea. Let's say, if Kerry won, what the hell would you post to this site anymore? We've given up on you. Just watch your TV, read your news blogs and commune with the Klingons. LEAVE US ALONE!

So, here's the thing: those aren't the tracks of the hurricane. Widely refuted from Atrios.

Well, you'd have to take popular density into account. For example, scroll down this page -- http://synapse.princeton.edu/~sam/pollcalc.html -- to see an electoral vote weighted map of the country (shaded red and blue based on current polls). Compare to this map: http://www.race2004.net

These damn people and their Gods! This only blinds to the real truth; the truth you cannot take. This is terrorism! Another battle in the war against the ideology of death.

This is clearly another example of Bin Laden using his weather machine to attack America. Right now he is sitting on his magic carpet, hovering over the Azores, plotting the course of the next killer storm. He has had success with Florida, however he will likely start shifting to the use of Nor'easters and winter storms. El Queda is just probing our weaknesses. This is only the beginning.

We must not give into the terror! El Queda must not be allowed to have an effect on our elections. Screw Bin Laden. Screw his magic carpet. And most of all, screw his infernal weather machine. The sky will not fall on my watch!

FURTHERMORE: Check the storm tracks for proof that we will win the war on terror! Both Ivan (think recent Russian terror attacks) and Jeannie (everyone has a bitch) have been backtracking. We are winning. We are forcing them to retreat! Like the blasts over Ft. McHenry, let the blowing winds tell you that our flag will only wave in these gusts, never to fall to the ground.

I believe you have pretty much hit the nail on the head. However, you forget about Bin Ladin's use of the snakehead fish to attack Maryland's waterways. To think that three years ago we had our panties up in a bunch over Anthrax, Small Pox and cropdusters! How foolish of us! It was Bin Ladin all along. But, rattle, do you really think he has allied himself with the fearsome "El Queda?" We know that the Mexican terrorists are among the most ferocious kind. If they have joined forces then C.O.B.R.A.'s involvement cannot be far off. This has all the earmarks of a true disaster.

Yes, it is excellent when an idiot like Adamist cannot research his post well enought to find that it is fraudulent. Maybe this is a Klingon trick! Acidus, you are a fool as well.
