It seems highly unfair for McCain. I think most of his supporters are asleep right now. Around here the over 80 crowd is in bed by 7:30 pm and up at 5 am to power walk. They'd entirely miss the voting action in Dixville Notch.
On the flip side, how many Obama supporters would make it out to vote if the polls opened at 7 am and closed at 7:30 am? Those stoner kids don't even roll out of bed until after noon!
Why is it unfair. Last time they voted Bush early -- did you complain? Time before that they voted Bush early -- did you complain? Time before that they voted Dole -- did you complain? Time before that they voted Bush -- did you complain? Time before that they voted Reagan -- did you complain?

Lighten up buddy, it was a joke. Notice the dripping sarcasm about all of McCain's supporters being over 80 arthritics and Obama's being genX potheads.
