LOL - at early voting today in West Palm Beach - Romney tent packed up early

They packed up right around 6. The early voting line cuts off at 7 PM. I finally got to vote around 9, and the line behind me is going to take at least another 2 hours. The Obama tent was still there.

One of the guys said, while packing up, "We're not getting paid here, we're just volunteers." To be honest, there wasn't much use of them being there, the line was 99% Democratic.

The Obama volunteers were still there handing out fliers and water. I'm sure they'll be there until the last person votes.

I didn't know they were handing out water. I was going to go to the store and return with water for those in line.

the Campaign tents have to be a number of yards from the polling place? And, how long did you wait in line?
