Given what today’s weather is like – winds gusting above 30 miles an hour and temperatures surging above 70 – I’d be more tempted to think that the holiday on the horizon is Easter, not Thanksgiving.
And I couldn’t help but wonder if the above-normal temperatures will play a role in the outcome of the presidential election. There’s that sports theory that claims every time the Washington Redskins win a football game the Sunday before a presidential election, the incumbent party stays in office; if the Redskins lose, the party not in power wins.
I’m curious to see if there’s a trend linked to temperatures above 60 degrees in Wichita on Election Day. I’ll do some poking around and see what I can find out.
