Though it it looks like from 6pm (when people get out of work) to 8pm (when the polls close), it won't be raining.

2. Good. Republicans who aren't very enthused anyway will stay home.
Rain will not stop the hundreds of thousands of highly motivated Obama supporters. It will dampen the already tepid enthusiasm of McCain voters.

3. Go to the dollar store and get some $1 umbrellas to pass out people
Then tell them to just keep passing the umbrellas back once they get in the building to vote.

4. Garbage Bags! Seriously.
Big Black garbage bags. Extra large size. Lots of them. Best cheap raincoats around. Think the campaign has stocked up on them yet???

5. People who are enthused will vote those not won't. So I think it would hurt McCain more than
us.

13. Agreed
Most of us would stand in pouring rain and hurricane wind to get Obama elected.

8. Eh...It'll be fine...35% chance at 5pm

Use the National Weather Service instead. It's better information. My brother is a meteorologist for the NWS. The owner of the weather channel and DerChimpenFeurer tried to get the weather service privatized even though they get their data from the NWS...

9. According to weatherunderground, there's only a slight chance that it will rain
Hopefully it will hold off until late.

10. That's okay, maybe even good. It'll keep the more enthusiastic voters voting and
send the less enthusiastic ones home.

We all know who is who. :D

11. I don't know about you

12. So?
It rained when Obama did a rally in West Chester. There werew 9000 people there, in spite of the rain.

A little rain never hurt anybody, said Obama.

We agree!!!
