This curious "streak" has been reported for a week or so, long before anyone knew what the outcome would be. To say that Kerry supporters are grasping at straws is silly, this is merely reporting the result of a story brought up a week ago, no party is seriously trying to spin this, everyone realizes this is just a funny coincidence.

Also, just to clarify since you didn't seem to understand the story, it involves the incumbent's party not the incumbent himself, so if some correlation did exist (it doesn't), it would apply in every election, not just one where someone was running for reelection.
