IBT “This is a Democratic cheat to rob the people of MA the right to elect Brown!”
Let me guess, there’s a global-warming conference coming to town.
Well if the plow drivers are SEIU, who knows?
It would see to favor Brown, those busses full of homeless people and ACORN/SEIU thugs might not thru
Coakley needs a high DEM turnout, as Brown has rallied the Independents to his side.
roads should be cleared by Tuesday
As a resident of the snowiest part of MA, north central right along the MA/NH border, I can tell you it won't mean a thing.
Most of us here are ready to walk barefoot over hot coals studded with shards of glass to vote Brown on Tuesday!
Conservatives will usually crawl on their hands and knees to get to the polling place. If its raining or snowing, a lot of Rats will look out the window and then roll back into bed.
I'm thinking that would be Scott Brown.
Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!
I’d say it’s good for Brown. Snow isn’t a panic to real MA people.
“Anyone in MA have ideas on how this might affect turnout?”
IMO, I think the absentee ballot may become an issue.
People in the northeast are used to this type weather, and 6-12 inches of snow, the day before, wouldnt stop anyone from doing anything. It probably wouldnt stop them if it snowed on tuesday, either.
It's not likely to help it.
Eight to ten inches? It means we might have to wear jackets and hats. All of my neighbors are so excited to vote for Brown in this election, the snow won’t make a difference. We’re all just making sure the Seniors have rides.
The perfect GOD inspired perfect storm!
If it turns out to be a real weather situation by Monday in Mass, it will affect the already marginal enthusiasm among those that would have or might have voted for Coakley.
These people are not terribly motivated to begin with: a foot of snow would only leave one option for the Coakley campaign: bring the polling places to THEM. You’d need a little more passion than they could muster to go out in really bad weather.
I would think the Brown voters have jobs, snow tires and a lot more at stake. They’ll show one way or another.
This is a little concerning. The few conservatives out here are in the rural areas near the central/western parts. Those areas are going to get hit hard from what I hear. I hope people don’t see the polls and relax or think that it is not worth the trip in the snowy mountain roads out here. Some of the roads are very hard to travel on in the winter unless you have good snow tires.
