Is the WEATHER a problem anywhere for voting??

I heard it was going to rain on the southern coast (NC, Virginia). Just wondered if anyone had anecdotes or knowledge about if the weather was a factor this morning.

7. Has anyone heard the forecast for Hell?
Is it going to freeze over? That would be the thing that would help McCain, per David Letterman last night!

8. Roland Martin had a great point....said that in Africa...a 91-year-old woman died...
...while waiting in the sweltering heat for TWO DAYS to have her voice heard...

I hope those in lines are able to stay and make their voices heard!!! :patriot:
