I think your line of thinking is all wet. In past elections the Democrats depended on high voter turnout among the elderly who thought that the Democrats were still the party of FDR. The elderly as a rule of thumb would not go out in bad weather and that was good for the GOP.

NOW however I suspect grandma and grandpa are going to have a hard time pulling the lever for some guy named Barack Hussein Obama. Indeed a believe a lot of them will jump to McCain. Just as one elderly lifelong Democrat I personally know.

Young people and those who worship the products of the Ivy League schools are the base of the Obama campaign and they are not going to be put off my ANY bad weather.

We want clear skies on November 4th.

When Hillary outperformed the polls in New Hampshire by +11%, it was an unseasonably fine, warm, sunny day. Seniors came out in droves for Clinton. Many of them will indeed jump ship for McCain.
