Bad Weather on Super Tuesday could snarl vote...

[RoadRage]

DELPHI, Ind. (AP) — Thunderstorms and snowstorms spread across the eastern half of the nation Tuesday, making travel miserable for voters in states holding primaries and causing flooding that chased some people from their homes in Indiana.
It was the second evacuation in less than a month for some Indiana residents.

Snow spread out of Colorado on a path across the central Plains and was likely to reach the upper Great Lakes by nightfall. Up to 11 inches of snow was possible in parts of Wisconsin.

In warmer air, a band of rain and thunderstorms extended from Oklahoma up the Ohio Valley to New York state.

Snow or rain fell during the morning in parts of Super Tuesday states Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Jersey, New York and Oklahoma.

So who does this help? Who does this hurt? Will it have much of an impact at all?

3. I'm inclined to think this might be a slight edge for Obama..

since he seems to have the "younger" vote - more likely to travel during bad weather. But, depending on how bad the weather really is in those areas it might not matter much.

I'm in Omaha, NE (No primary for us today).. with 4 - 8 inches of snow expected.

5. Yeah, us older people have never endured hardships like the kids have. n/t

7. Yup.. less then 10 seconds for a Hillbot to take offense...

In a foot of snow, who is more likely to go out? An 80 year old or a 25 year old? SOME 80 year olds will go out, but a few MAY stay home because of bad weather.

I never said "All older people will not vote now because of bad weather".. sheesh.

8. My 81 year old father is more likely to go out

than his 23 year old grandson.

4. Mild day in NYC - perfect for elderly women to trot out

6. Icing in Far West Chicago Burbs.

It's just coming in as I type this. Still light, who knows what it will be doing 10min from now - it's Chicago afterall.

9. It's snowing here in Chicago's northern suburbs.

Glad I already voted. Last time I checked the weather they were predicting 8-12 inches, starting sometime after midnight.

10. It's been snowing in NE all day.. heading southwest. NT

11. Oh for Christ's sake- what is WRONG with people

that they can't fucking vote in the rain? I have never understood that. So far, all polls are located indoors and unfortunately there is rarely a line of more than two people outside, if ANY.
Repugs will vote. They always do.
