Not to smack down preps for it but we have had plenty of big rain events around here. Agree but not sure when we had rain like this cover such a large geographic area. Main drainage creeks and rivers are gonna b busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect other districts aren't far behind. I think OPM shuts gov't down tomorrow. They don't want another commute nightmare as the storm really gets going here.

Early voting just started yesterday here in MD and it is open from 12-6 today and i got there at 11:50 and there were already 500 cars there already. Im sure it is because of the strong feelings for the gay marriage bill here. I do agree with you 100% though, democrats are always hurt in the turnout department in inclement weather. This could hurt Obama in Virginia and Pennsylvania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm sort of assuming the storm lingering effects suppresses turnout in NoVA which won't help Obama there. I told a friend of mine that I though the storm delivers Virginia for Romney.
