I've never been on a trial, but I did serve on the grand jury for a two week stint. I was so excited because I've always been really interested in the judicial system. It was really awful and depressing. Three quarters of the cases were drug offences, with robberies, bar fights, and domestic violence tossed in the mix.

In Delaware, they use the DMV listings to send you a Jury Duty Notice. When I was still in the military, I was a resident of Virginia stationed in Delaware. I got a notice in the mail saying I had to pull jury duty. I called them and told them I was not a resident of Delaware so could not sit a jury here. This thoroughly confused them as I had a Delaware license! I had to fill out a form showing why I should be relieved from the duty. I thought that would have been entered into a database. But, when I was subsequently stationed to Tokyo, I received another summons. This time though, they indluded the excuse form for me to fill out. I again told my story...BUT, in my typical cynical fashion, they also had a section on the form to discuss mileage (they reimburse travel). So, I put down the mileage from Tokyo to Dover and calculated it out for the two weeks.....at 19,000+/- miles a day round trip for two weeks, they backed off!
I didn't receive another summons until I returned to Delaware and had retired from the AF.

good test - it kinda shows about you can be for one candidate, but not support all of their sides.

That's a good idea.

It's interesting that there are zero undecided voters in this PI poll. That follows national trends, but you'd still expect some.

Gallup’s daily tracking poll shows the number of undecided voters hovering between 6 percent and 8 percent — compared with 11 percent at this point in 2008. An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll put the percentage of undecided voters at 3 percent, down from 12 percent in late July 2008. A Pew survey found 5 percent didn’t know who they’d vote for, half of the number at this point in 2008.
