Not a myth KC. Inner city voters generally walk to the polls. If it's raining and you aren't that enthusiastic about the candidate you are less likely to walk 3 blocks to go vote.

Rain does not have an effect in the burbs and rural areas as most people drive to the polls.

"Bad weather rarely affects and election - its just a myth."

Hard to prove either way. One thing to keep in mind - almost 70% of those who support Bush do so enthusiastically. Only about 30% of Kerry supporters do so enthusiastically. Bad weather is less likely to dampen Bush's support. Other down ballot races or lack of have an impact as well. The gay marriage ammendment in Ohio should turn out the Bush supporters - high water better than hell as it were.

80% chance of copious amounts of rain all over Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan tomorrow. Minnesota and Wisconsin sunny.
