While this year's presidential campaigning has been rather aggressive, at least local supporters can be good neighbors.

Take the Republican and Democratic booths at the West End Fair, for example. Not to say that they agree on all things - or anything, for that matter - but they can peacefully coexist on the same strip of the Main Midway, only three stalls apart.At least most of the time.Democratic volunteer Linda Zak of Ross Township has been especially driven to drum up support for local and national candidates alike. Zak has been working the booth at the fair for over eight years now, spurred into action by disapproval of previous Republicans like Bush and Cheney."I believe in the Democratic message, and I really support Hillary," Zak said. "She brought the CHIP program, and that's the main reason I'm supporting her."The booth offers information on national and local candidates, voter registration, absentee ballot information and campaign support items like totes for sale."We're getting a good response from Democrats. This time, Democrats are speaking up. We're registering more people to vote, more than any other year," Zak said.A hot topic during the presidential race revolves around whether the American people are ready to accept a female president."They're going to have to, because there's a woman in every household. We are everywhere," Zak said.When asked about the relative proximity of her booth to that of the opponents, Zak is cheeky, but positive."It's not contagious," she said. "I have a lot of good friends who are Republicans. And a lot of them are voting for Hillary."Just a wee bit down the road, the Republican booth is set up, complete with a cardboard Donald Trump. Running the show is Republican volunteer Teri Flowers, who has worked on numerous campaigns with the likes of Rosemary Brown, David Parker and more."A lot of people come to us to take a picture with Mr. Trump," Flowers said.Although, of course, there are some instances when people have not been quite so civil."There was a man taking a picture of himself giving Trump the middle finger," Flowers said. She said that when she noticed it, she came out of the booth and proceeded to turn the man's finger away from Trump. "You're pointing in the wrong direction," she said to the man.Instead of focusing on an attack campaign, though, Flowers and her fellow volunteers are choosing to look away from the negatives."Everyone's been really great," Flowers said. "We've been focusing on the positive, the potential for change. The thing that stands out is the young people, ages 15 to 25, that are really passionate for the campaign."The Republican booth is offering similar services to the Democrats, in addition to plenty of information about property tax relief."We've had multiple requests for signs, we've registered about 50 people. We're looking to register people who are just out of high school," Flowers said.No matter what political stance one takes, at least it is comforting to know that local branches of national campaigns can work on the same street without any bombastic incidents.As long as no one is flipping off Trump, that is.
