What about those of you who live in states that sometimes have horrid weather on election day? The comraderie is nice, but I'd want to be sure the weather man I listen to for the long-range forecast has a really good record, if you choose to wait. Just a thought.

There are also six constitutional amendment proposals on the ballot and it'll probably take me until election day to sort out all the double-negative-ridden legal-speak so I'll be reasonably confident I'm not actually voting for something while thinking I'm voting against it.

BWL, you said it! When I lived in Washington state I always appreciated the voters handbook that the League of Women voters compiled with pro and con statements from all concerned parties and candidates. They don't do anything like that down here in Texas, making voting much more of a crapshoot on some of these tricky proposals.
