Heh, lucky. At my polling place there was NOBODY from any party, as dead quiet as is it any other day. They also had the "300 ft limit - no electioneering beyond this point" signs plopped down no more than 50 feet from the front door. Which I guess kinda makes sense, since 300 feet from the front door in any given direction, you'd find yourself two irregularly-shaped, disconnected streets away.

Interestingly, there was no Rep campaigner outside. This is a heavily Rep area, so maybe the thought was that it wasn't necessary. I'll try to volunteer next time, when Rick Santorum (R-PA) is up for reelection to the Senate.

It seems to me that dead polling places during the day, on a Tues. is Great news for Republicans, as most are working and will vote after work.

The "Walk to the Polls in the middle of the day" Dems aren't there, and that's the important thing.
