In that case I'm not so sure your problem is actually condensation.
If I understand "near D.C." right, then you're in a pretty similar climate as I am, but with hotter summers. And I wouldn't link condensation to anything occurring in the summer (unless it's on a nice cold glass of beer, of course).

I can't say that I have ever experienced problems in the first minutes after a cold start on a damp day. Not even when my car had literally been sitting in the clouds in the Alps for some time.
I also don't think 3-4 minutes after a cold start on a damp day is enough time to clear the dizzy from condensation.
The only thing you can be reasonably sure about is that, somehow, humidity plays a role.

Either there's something missing on your distributors, or the symptoms may seem to point towards a cause which is not the actual cause.
What spark plugs are you using?
