20 minutes until the polls open

6:40 a.m. Still 20 minutes to go before the polls open. For some reason I don't think there's going to be a stampede to the polls. Last time I looked it was pouring out. That is not going to be doing anything for turnout. In politics, rain is a four-letter word. At best turnout was expected to be maybe 15 percent. That might be pushing it at this point.
