Tueday evening I was at our county's party headquarters.  One of the ladies
that was a poll watcher was telling me how depressed she felt during her
time working the poll watch.  She said that nearly 90% of those coming in
were Democrats.  I said "Ethel Lee, you were there from 3 to 3 in the
afternoon.  That's when real pople are working.  What you were seeing are
the Democrats that either won't work or on welfare.  The Republicans can
later, after they got off work."

Those exit poll takers show up during working hours when real citizens are
earning an income and paying taxes.  Had they got there at 7:00 AM when the
polls opened or stayed after 4:30 they would see taxpayers showing up to
vote.
