Of course, the Dem. machine is also employing some tried and true last minute sheeple inundation tactics. They have hundreds of paid and unpaid volunteers flooding voters with phone calls and door-to-door literature drops.

It's not just the Dems, fortunately. Here in western Maryland, there are quite a few Republican volunteers going door-to-door. I was happy to see this, even if they did wake me up on a Saturday morning one time. :) I have not received any visits, mailings, literature, etc. from Democrats at all.

There are a few dozen folks going door to door here in Howard County. They typically have address lists showing registered Republican and independent voters, and try to only hit those houses. I don't believe any of them are actually knocking on doors, I think they're just leaving literature on the door. The goal is not to win votes, but simply to get people to the polls.

You probably won't see any literature or receive any calls/visits from the Dems... unless you get something from a local candidate. They are specifically targeting certain neighborhoods and demographics (African-Americans, other traditional Dem. voters). And they'll certainly be ignoring Western Maryland... way too far outside their comfort zone.
