iphone 3g line and Voter Registration

Since I was up and working on email early this morning I decided to head to the Coffee Tree on Walnut Street in Shadyside for a cup of coffee. I had to cross quite a line of people to actually get into the Coffee Tree. At 8am this morning the new iphone 3g is going on sale and this is quite a line of people waiting to get the new iphone.
While waiting in line - the Apple employees are handing out free coffee from the coffee tree (thank you for supporting a local business) and there are 2 guys working the line with clipboards of voter registration forms (I think they are wearing Obama buttons but I am not sure).
I did a quick search of Pittsburgh bloggers - thus far the only other person blogging about the iphone is blindsquirel.org - he decided the iphone 3g isn’t for him yet.
It’s now 8:30 am and the line is still stretching as far as the Coffee Tree.

Update - 8:50 the line is still in front of the coffee tree and the Apple employees are now handing out bottled water to anyone in line.
