FreshAJ Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Most Americans are gearing up for a big election year in 2012. Next week will get the ball rolling with the Iowa Caucus for the Republican candidates. Many Iowans will be going outside to vote for their top Republican candidate. Here’s what is interesting…Mike Huckabee (a former Presidential Candidate) believes that if weather is poor during the voting period, Ron Paul will be the winner. And if the weather is good, Mitt Romney should win. In this post, I’ll take a look at the “Political Power of Weather”.

usedtobe Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 And Rick Santorum believes if Accuweather gives him enough money he should shut down the National Weather Service. I'm pretty sure Ron Paul would also like to farm out the NWS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I'm pretty sure Ron Paul would also like to farm out the NWS. He would. His "budget proposal" zeroes out the entire Commerce Department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baroclinic_instability Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 He would. His "budget proposal" zeroes out the entire Commerce Department. I don't know the details of his proposal but it is highly unlikely all departments within each of the parent departments would be completely dissolved. I think it would be more likely certain segments like NOAA would be placed into a different department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NWS should just preempt any reorganization attempt and go back to being the Weather Bureau now. Get rid of the fancy webpages, graphical model output, GFE grids, outreach, decision support, etc and only issue raw textual data. And I'm serious.
