Drudge saying WINTER STORM predicted for BIBLE BELT on Election Day.

[gauguin57]

Don't bother going over there ... he just links to a bunch of weather maps only a meteorologist could love.

If this is true, I just don't even know what to say. Isn't Pat Robertson praying hard enough? Isn't Dubya?

[troublemaker]

1. Sounds like they aren't getting enough early voting

Just goosing their troops

[greenbriar]

3. I would walk 10 miles uphill barefoot in the snow to vote Kerry

NO MORE BUSH

[greenbriar]

4. by the way, I live in the

bible belt kansas

[mcg]

33. If I had to crawl on my belly I'd vote for Kerry.

[Spiffarino]

38. The beauty is, you don't have to!

Just remember to bring a friend or ten.
;)

[Reciprocity]

39. I would walk on my lips thought broken glass to vote for Kerry.

NO MORE BUSH

[NEDem]

2. A massive ice storm would be really nice

[Perky]

11. Would not help Kerry

The myth at least is that bad weeather will hurt african american turnout the most.

but then again the South is pretty solidly red so ot probably has not major impact except for a majority vote overall for Kerry.

[Scoopie]

24. Yeah?

Well, I heard on the radio from the chairwoman of the NAACP in Memphis, TN, that they registered 10,000 - nope, not a typo - 10,000 African-American voters in the Memphis area- ALONE. She said the NAACP is non-partisan but added that roughly 90 percent vote Democratic.

AND... they are providing rides and GOTV like there is no tomorrow.

And these are NEW voters... even if only half vote, hey... they're not on the radar... :P

[DemFromMem]

47. Plus a lot of Hispanics

Believe it or not, Memphis now has Hispanics ranging in number from 100,000 to 150,000 (in a city with about 1.2 million people. Statewide, the numbers are about 500,000 to 600,000. A lot of these folks are not naturalized yet, but their numbers are significant in a state of our size.

A friend of mine who has been registering voters tells me that the number of Hispanics registering to vote in Memphis is VERY encouraging.

[NEDem]

37. Maybe, But it would definately hurt b*. This is his base.

Bring on the ice and snow.

[ruggerson]

5. Guess God Is Trying To Tell Them Something?

[troublemaker]

43. maybe this is God just saying we're responsible...

"maybe this is God just saying we're responsible for this monster, this coward, that we have empowered"

[Sannum]

6. LOL

Please happen Tuesday morning! Having lived in the south, everything shuts down when it gets below 50. Nobody would get out to vote for George:)

[DeminDC]

7. Problem

It looks like the storm stretches north into Wisconsin and Michigan. We can ill afford to have low turnout in these spots, but maybe crappy weather will deter the rural voters. I hope we have a good plan to weather-proof our GOTV work.

[FlashHarry]

21. 10-day forecast shows rain and 52º in Madison, WI on Nov 2.

Though, a lot could change in the meantime. I think Dems have a fire in their collective belly that hasn't been seen in a generation. I think that anything short of a plague of frogs will not deter these motivated voters.

[kodi]

8. god's will be done.

and pray for freezing rain.

[mcg]

9. They're preparing their excuses already.

It was the bad weather.

[hexola]

10. Things that make you believe there is a god.

1) Space shuttle with Israeli soldier on board crashes near Palestine TX

2)Hurricanes in FLA disrupt Jeb and Georges plans

3)Snowstorm on election day in the Bible belt.

There are few other major points of irony...but I cant recall...

[Quadrajet]

20. LOL, yeah God is on THEIR side?

Keep on that prayer schedule freepers. ;)

[Scoopie]

30. It's 65 degrees here

There will be no snow storm in the Bible Belt.

If there is - Good - but there won't be.

Where did this come from?

[onenote]

12. snowballs in hell

Drudgery is just pilin' on the crapola. Ain't gonna happen. Although, if bad weather holds down turnout in the bible belt, you won't see me crying!

onenote

[LizW]

13. Uh, where does he think the Bible Belt is, Minnesota?

I live in the heart of the Bible Belt, and our weather is predicted to be in the mid to high sixties on election day. Maybe some rain, but nothing even remotely like a winter storm.

Drudge is desperate. And on crack, sounds like. LOL!

[RevolutionStartsNow]

14. If you're voting in one of these cold states...

don't forget to wear your black hoodie!

[jezebel]

15. Showing my stupidity here, but what states are the "Bible Belt"? thanks

nt

[onenote]

22. here's one explanation

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible_belt

[jezebel]

36. thank you NT

nt

[Zorbet55]

25. Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Mississippi, Alaska, and South Car

olina, Utah, North Dakota, Albania, and Vatican Village. Also Nebraska, Idaho, Tennessee, Georgia, and Indiana.

[jezebel]

31. LOL, I'm in Georgia..didn't even know I was in the BB. Those look good,

keep * #'s down.

[Zorbet55]

44. Oh yeah, jez, and I'm in Tennessee

We have to take credit where credit is due. Kidding, of course. :toast: I really don't know where the hell the Bible Belt is, but I do know that we have some real fundie snake-handlers in them thar hills and that's a fact. North GA too.

[Zorbet55]

16. Sure hope so. It's been hot as hell this fall.

We need an icestorm with gale force winds. This sounds promising.

[napi21]

17. Do most of these states have early voting?

I live in the bible belt, but in Ga. I seriously doubt we'll have a winter storm HERE!

Most of the surrouding states have early voting so this may not be the problem you think it is.

[gauguin57]

23. I wasn't saying it was a PROBLEM if BIBLE BELTERS (RED STATES)

have bunches of snowbound Repugs who can't vote for Bush!

[Ready4Change]

18. It's when they can't drive their cars...

...due to all the frogs falling from the skies that I'll be impressed.


;)

[elperromagico]

19. I don't care if it's snowing steaming cow shit in Arkansas.

I'll just go to the polling place, say "Sorry about the stink," and vote for JK. :D

[mellowinman]

50. Post of the day.

Anyone agree?

[aldian159]

53. Agreed

Great stuff

[GDoyle]

26. Cocaine

The most significant winter storm on election day will be the coke Dubya starts sniffing, getting his jaw a griding, along with a steady diet of Pretzels and Jack Daniels as the psychopath tries to drown out and coke out his sorrows of his blow out loss.

GDoyle

[bushwakker]

27. 10 inches of snow in Tuscaloosa on 11/2 LOL!!!!

[Syrinx]

34. this Tuscaloosan will walk through 10 inches of snow to vote for Kerry

And I can't understand why you are all wanting turnout to be low. Big turnout always favors Democrats.

[bushwakker]

55. Roll Tide

[Gaffey Duck]

28. WTF????

It's going to be 65 in my part of Ontario on election day. It'll be at least that in the South and Lower MW.

[texas1928]

29. It does not look as bad as he says

The National Weather Service has not really said anything.

this is their forecast for Nov. 1st-5th.

http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/610day/

[Lydia Leftcoast]

32. Personally, I'd walk the ten blocks to my polling place in a blizzard

if I had to, and most of the Minneapolis and St. Paul Democrats I've talked to are equally fired up.

(I'm a native Minnesotan. It takes more than a little blizzard to stop me.)

[yankeeinlouisiana]

35. Drudge is an idiot.

We're having record high temps here. It's suppose to be in the mid 80s. I still have my AC running. The weather will be fine. Although we could use some rain.

:-)

[progdonkey]

40. According to the Weather Channel...

Nothing below 50 (highs) nationwide, except the Rockies, on Election Day, and clear, cool skies (nothing below 35--lows--in the South) Election night.

[juslikagrzly]

41. What the hell is drudge talking about?

I'm right in the buckle of the bible belt, Oklahoma, and our forecast is for mid 60's partly sunny. Sounds like a grand day for an election! Even though we'll probably go *, our dem senate candidate is now leading in the polls!

I'll fucking walk to the poll if it's bad weather!

[Goldmund]

42. And in NYC...

66 and sunny.

Hm, if I weren't an atheist...

[Stephanie]

52. God Hates Bush

I'll say it.

[Bucky]

45. The excuses have started already.

They appealed to the Supreme Court to win. We had to go up to the next level.

[Renew Deal]

46. He's an idiot. He took it off the site.

Those maps didn't prove it would even rain. Those are changes in the weather. No temperature. No nothing.

[DemBones DemBones]

48. Snow in early November in Georgia? Hahahahahahahahahaha!

That Drudge sure is a kidder!

[ewagner]

49. Here's the link

to the discussion section...hard to decipher but from what I gather, it's only a possibility of precipitation in the Ohio and Mississippi river valleys. The probabilities are in the 35-40% range.....

<http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/610day/fxus06.html>


Also remember that anything more than 72 hours is pure climatology....not terribly accurate.

[high density]

51. What a whack job!

Last night he was warping the shit out of some NBC report for CNN and about 24 hours later he's playing weatherman? LOL.
