since electioneering IN the polling place is verboten....

7. I thought J-Ed lived in NC

Isn't his house near Raleigh?

[gateley]

8. Chapel Hill, I think. Not too far from Raleigh. nt

12. That's what I'm saying; I don't think he's a SC res.

[Beaverhausen]

14. He's not voting- he is simply thanking the poll workers

who have a monumental job today, I'm sure.

[avaistheone1]

17. The poll workers have a big job and they get paid peanuts.

It was really nice for John to take some time out and personally thank them for their work.

[Spiffarino]

23. I didn't think they got paid at all

And yes, it was kind of Edwards to greet the folks who do volunteer to keep democracy alive.
