Anyone else find it interesting
that the past 2 elections,
fraught with mistakes & errors,
have both either fallen smack dab
in the middle of a mercury
retrograde or at least
in mercury retrograde's
shadow?

2004 Election: Nov. 2 (shadow of the retrograde begins 3 weeks before)
Mercury Retro: Nov. 30 in Sagittarius

2006 Election: Nov. 7 (in the middle of the retrograde)
Mercury Retro: Merc retro Oct. 28 - Nov. 17 in Scorpio!
