The biggest surprise of them all

I eyed up the situation, determined the best location and stood there, away from the other “poll workers.” As people walked up the path, I smiled and asked: “Are you Republican?” The Democrats outnumbered the Republicans. I would say, 10 to 1. I was prepared for rudeness; I was ready to be spit upon. Guess what? The large majority of people were really very nice! There were a few buggers, of course, but on a whole, most people were pleasant. A couple people said to me, ‘Wait, are YOU a Republican? You can’t be a Republican! You don’t look like a Republican.” (I swear to you, I was wearing my business clothes and not a hippie chick outfit, braless.) I had other people say, “Honey, you are at the wrong Primary! This is the Democratic Primary. There’s no Republican Primary this year!” On a whole, the Republicans I talked to listened to me and I think they actually voted for the delegates I recommended. Regardless of the ending score, it was an interesting day.
