Everyone please also give weather report -- rain and heavy rain expected today in New Orleans, Atlanta, Memphis, Little Rock, Charlotte. This is good for GOP and particularly bad for Cleland, Landrieu and Bowles. Anyone agree?

Early reports from a friend in Suburban Georgia reports heavy early morning voting despite the rain.

Light snow in southeast Minnesota, including parts of Twin Cities. This is good for Coleman... his vote in southeast (GOP area) MN will go thru sleet, snow and hail to vote for him.

Worked the phones for Coleman last night and again later today. Voting at 11am.

Not everyone agrees with that conventional wisdom. Here's what Matt Towery of Insider Advantage had to say about bad weather in Georgia, in an Augusta Chronicle article from the weekend:

The weather could be the deciding factor, Mr. Towery said.

"If it rains, the congressional race could become tighter because - contrary to what everybody says - they always like to think about Georgia in the 1920s. And we're not in the 1920s anymore.

"Usually when it rains, Republicans and white candidates suffer, and African-American and Democratic candidates do better. A lower turnout always inures to the benefit of a Democrat/African-American candidate. That is historically supported by virtually every election in the 1980s and 1990s in Georgia."

Yes, agreed. We have rain statewide in Louisiana including Landrieu's stronghold of New Orleans. We're praying for a runoff.
