Forecasting is no stranger to the political races, between predicting the winners and forecasting the weather there is plenty of educated guessers on the scene. Already this year we have forecasted storms that have delayed and even cancelled events. Will the weather stop even the most loyal citizens from taking a stand on Super Tuesday?

Here are a few thoughts from my day at MSNBC as the network becomes all politics during election time:

After doing a weather hit on the network the political pundits actually weighed in about the forecast that I mentioned for Super Tuesday. It seems that some believe the rainy weather in the East for Tuesday could actually play a critical part in voter turnout for the Democrats. With Clinton and Obama running nearly neck & neck, every little thing seems to matter more and more to each campaign. According to MSNBC Political analyst Chuck Todd, the rain could actually keep the older Hillary base from venturing out in the slick conditions. Conversely, with the Obama camp, the rain may not slow a more eager and younger crowd from casting a vote.

I think what will be really interesting to do in the coming days is to compare the percentage of voters in the older demographics that turn out in sunny California vs. a rainy New York. How much will the weather make an impact on the older voter base in the East this time around? Will it matter in a election year that is facing so many firsts from race to gender? As we have learned already in the past two months, if weather is around it usually plays some part in the process. Remember the Iowa snow and ice or the South Carolina snow?

Candidates are probably glad for the latest warm punch of air. Can you imagine the paralyzing mess that snow could cause on the roadways? While Mother Nature is not giving us a total break, it could be a lot worse this time of year.

Will weather stop you from heading to the polls?
