Now for a bit of silliness:
Politics is full of superstition and random correlations. People like to talk about how every president elected on a year ending in 0 has died in office (or been wounded in the case of Reagan), or how no Republican has won the White House without Ohio, etc. etc. Here's one interesting statistic: ever since our first computer-using President (Clinton), only Mac-using Presidents have won the White House. Clinton is a Mac guy as is Dubya, Gore defected to Windows sometime after '96 (he has now switched back and is serving on Apple's board of directors but not after suffering the Curse of Steve). That's why last nights Rock The Vote was so shocking, of all the candidates asked, only Al Sharpton was a Mac user. (Edwards, Gephardt, Kerry and Lieberman didn't answer)
