Can This Be Just A Coincidence?!

This post has nothing to do with health care, except writing it will make me feel better. Consider:

1.) Yesterday of course started the final week of campaigning for the November 2nd mid-term elections. You wouldn't think it possible after the past several months, but in the "home stretch", the politicians have escalated their campaigning. More candidate appearances. More speeches. More TV and radio ads.

2.) For the last 24 hours Milwaukee has been experiencing near gale force winds. Very unusual. And they are expected to continue throughout the day.

Can this be just a coincidence? The weather forecasters say the winds will subside sometime tomorrow. I'm not a meteorologist but I'd guess next Tuesday would be a better guess.
