The fact that the Rats base won’t vote if it’s raining tells you all you need to know about them.

Ignore this silly media myth that high voter turnout always favors the democrats and low voter turnout always favors the republicans. It has been disproven so many times now it doesn't deserve to be taken at all seriously.

As just one example, the Brown-Coakley race in January had an enormous turnout for a special election, and Brown won in a state that almost never supports republicans.

Why would bad weather hurt Demoncrats and help Repubs?
Because the two groups have different motivations for voting.
The Acorn types vote for money, or food stamps and self.
The Patriots types vote for freedom, liberty, country, and for posterity.
We will win and win big. We have to make good and roll back the Leftist agenda in a major way. God help us all if we don’t.

Rain, snow, sleet, hail, broken glass, and other barriers won’t stop me from casting my ballot (okay, pressing the screen) next Tuesday.

It has to be “Fair Weather” for Democrats to vote, while Conservatives are so angry they will “Crawl Over Broken Glass” to vote.

Rain would not be a deterrent for stalwart Republicans but Democrats are likely to just stay home and smoke pot. Pray for lots of rain and cheap marijuana on Nov 2.

In this case, though, low voter turnout helps the Republicans.

The Republicans are very motivated to vote this year. If only a tiny tiny group of people voted this year, we can be certain that they would all be Republican.

No one out there is as happy with Obama as many Republicans are unhappy with Obama.

We benefit by a low turnout, and we benefit by rain on election day.

Not necessarily all the time, but definitely in 2010.

Ahh, too bad for the Dems. Stoners don’t like to go out in the rain.

Plenty of Republicans smoke pot.

You would have better luck if you were to mention doing gay sex or something like that. Something about welfare checks as well could be more accurate.

We’ve had local contests here in years past that the dims have won by only a few hundred votes, some by less than 100.

Don’t EVER think your vote doesn’t count - it does!

“Plenty of Republicans smoke pot.”

Source? Or is are you projecting your own wishful thinking?

The rain falls mainly on the vain.
