Finally McCain Gets a Break
John McCain has had a run of bad luck this year ranging from little public interest in foreign policy to the Wall St. Meltdown just before the election. Finally, he is getting the ultimate gift a Republican could ask for: rain on election day. The forecast is rain and storm in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and North Carolina. Rain lowers turnout and low turnout always helps Republicans as the people most discouraged from standing in the rain for hours are low-income voters. Whether this will be enough to swing those states is another matter though. They could be close. But turnout is crucial to determining who wins.

I tend to think bad weather helps the dems, this time.
Who will have more determination when standing in a line for 2 hours in the rain:
A 22-year old college kid who just loves obama, or
A 75-year old millionaire retiree who is settling for mcCain?

reports are lines have been forming in NC since 4am, so i think they will be ok.
im far more worried about the voting machine 'issues' (::)) that have been conveniently taking place in VIRGINIA so far
