Can Britney Spears Forsee Political Fortunes?

Missed in all my caucus watching last night was another galactic meltdown by fallen pop princess Britney Spears, in which she reportedly locked herself in a bedroom with her toddler son before an ambulance and half a dozen police were called to haul her off to a hospital for a mental evaluation.

It looks like the drama started around 10pm CST last night, which is the same time Barack Obama was taking the stage to make his victory speech after a stunning win in Iowa. (See the speech here)
Then I realized, Britney Spears seems to have a knack for making news on major election nights! On the night of the 2006 gubernatorial election, I recall being at the Rick Perry campaign victory party when I received a text message saying that Britney Spears had suddenly decided to leave her husband, Kevin Federline.

What's up with Britney Spears making big news on election nights?
