It has always been speculated RP would do well with a low turn out, since people that support him have more tenacity to go vote. It will be interesting to see if the weather changed much. The one thing the media can not control is the weather!

"Poor weather leads to Gingrich surging to 2nd over Mitt's 3rd place show."
This is NOT completely true.
Multiple counties are getting 'tornado warnings' in SC today. You can selectively give radical weather warnings like this in counties that lean certain ways, and it can most certainly affect votes. In fact, I believe most counties getting the warnings lean Gingrich, if I understand correctly (but don't quote me on that).
However, I doubt they would do this to ever affect Ron Paul votes, since they know we'll come out no matter what. They can, however, affect the Mitt/Gingrich numbers by at least a couple percent by choosing the scope of counties that get this warning.

Hurricane season is in June.I wish there was bad weather during the day of voting! We should do a rain dance and pray to the rain god to get rain in the next states haha. Maybe FLorida will get a hurricane.
