Yes, we can?

This is interesting...

Today I'm running a PR campaign for a major news network (I was hired for it by a PR company) in 8 different cities across the country: Boston, D.C., Dallas, Detroit, Chicago, Nashville, Los Angeles and Philadelphia. We're handing out coffee and hot chocolate outside of one voting precinct in each of those cities.

Suburban, Republican districts tend to vote after work. That's (one of many reasons) why the exit polls in 2004 were so far off.

But wouldn't you think for this particular election, given the speculation of long lines, that they would tend more towards getting it over with in the morning?

I know I specifically decided to vote after work because I assumed there would be such a big morning rush. I figure let all those people who want to wake up at 5am and stand in line clear out and then I can vote in peace. At least thats the plan.

Good luck - I'll be curious to know whether everyone else thought the same way.

Color me curious: where in Chicago?

The Edgebrooke School on North Hiawatha Avenue. Do you know the area?

[warinner]

Yes, I do.

I wouldn't pick it as one the richest, whitest suburbs though. It is definitely white and it is near Lincolnwood and Evanston which are definitely upscale but I'd say it is solidly middle class.

If you are looking for really white, really rich, head for the North Shore: Lake Forest, Wilmette, Winnetka, Highland Park...

We weren't actually looking for rich and white - just large and hopefully busy districts.
