While researching the big election on Tuesday in Massachusetts between Democrat Martha Coakley and Republican Scott Brown, I came across this article. There is a snow storm heading for Massachusetts and the article said that "Republicans generally benefit from bad weather". I began to wonder why that is.
The article floated this theory:
Thomas Hansford, a political scientist at University of California, Merced, one of the authors of the study, which he said could also apply to state elections, said he and his colleagues theorized that bad weather can discourage peripheral, or occasional, voters. Those voters, according to Hansford, tend to be lower-income people and tend to vote for Democrats.
I however think that is not it. I think the reason Republicans benefit from bad weather on election day is THEY DRIVE SUVs!
"...bad weather can discourage peripheral, or occasional, voters. Those voters, according to Hansford, tend to be lower-income people and tend to vote for Democrats."
So...the clueless and lazy generally vote democrat? Is that what Mr. Hansford is trying to say? Oh, my.
Okay, here's another shocka:
WORLD MISLED OVER HIMALAYAN GLACIER MELTDOWN
A WARNING that climate change will melt most of the Himalayan glaciers by 2035 is likely to be retracted after a series of scientific blunders by the United Nations body that issued it.

OUR FOUNDER drove an Oldsmobile Delmont 88, but unfortunately it was driven off a bridge. Pictures here - http://www.FATBOY.cc
I hope it stays nice and cold so the republican can win and defeat healthcare. But in the end I think the president and congress will make sure healthcare passes so the elite can secure more of our economy. If they get healthcare, and cap and trade, we're screwed.
And I'll move to the first state that declares independence from this federal BS.
Ordered some freeze dried food from your sponsor Elmer. He spent a long time talking to me on the phone. Real nice guy.
No the author is right.
It fits well into the "victim mentality" many Democrat constituents have.
Many Dems have SUV's. Look at Gore. He's probably got 20 of them.
It must be a leftwing/socialist problem becuase it's exactly the same the in UK, bad weather always benefits the Conservatives at polling time.
Like in the US the SUV helps which apparently I should feel guilty about driving.
As Theresa Heinz Kerry said in 2004 said "We have 3 SUV'S because they are better in snow" - http://www.LIVESHOT.cc
