my own experience with "bipartisan"-election judge training.

I went to election judge workshop yesterday...each voting district must have a Democrat and Republican judge and alternate.I laughed to myself as I thought about the post"Can you spot a Republican by his/her looks" a few weeks ago.
The Republican women all had that same stiff "church lady" ambiance.The men all had the same glad-handing smirk.You could spot a democrat a mile away-they actaqully looked uncloned,relaxed,and HUMAN.
The trainer mentioned that since many tasks had to be done by a Republican and a Democrat,that we might consider riding together.That was met by rolled eyes and "as if"expressions.
When one man asked a question about poll watchers,the lady next to me whispered"He must be a democrat" to her friend.I don't get this veiled hostility.I expected some to be directed towards me,sice I am such a vocal democrat in my community,but it's funny how they can't confront you to your face.I just smiled pleasantly to all,made small talk,and tried to rise above their pettiness.Oy.
