Presumably this tactic would also be effective by visiting a State
Website.  Alas, the majority of Key signing Parties result mostly in "I
was there and spoke with...." Signatures.  It's hard to imagine how
shaking more hands than a politician on Runoff Day can convey any sense
of 'trustworthiness' about the other individual.  :-\  Still, BoF
