Arrow Will The Rain on Election Day Make a Difference??

Well, the weather forecast here is for rain on Election Day. It seems like it always rains on Election Day.

Do you think it will have an impact on who comes out to vote? I know younger people like to sleep in on rainy days. Older people, disabled people usually don't like to get out on rainy days.

What do you think -- will the rain have a deciding factor on the results??

I honestly don't think it's going to make a difference. Too many people are personally vested in this 2008 election to let a little bit of rain quiet their voice. I just don't think many voters this year are going to be that complacent.

The young WILL vote tomorrow--as a matter of fact, a lot of young have early-voted already anyway. This election is important enough that the turnout will be the largest in many, many elections, rain or shine

The use to say that bad weather hurt the democrat candidate. With this election I think people will not care.

No rain called for here....but I'll be voting either way.

I wish I'd had the option of early voting.

I'm wrecked about the rain!

It's going to totally hose everything up!

I hate that my hair is going to look frizzy with my "I Voted" sticker!

How tacky!
