Maybe it's just me.....

.....but I'm not seeing hardly any Obama/Biden signs this go 'round.  Bunches and bunches of Romney/Ryan yard signs...and plenty of Romney/Ryan window/bumper stickers too. 

I know I've seen a couple, but compared to 4 years ago when Obama yard signs and bumper stickers where plastered just about everywhere (including my next door neighbor), I'm just not seeing them this time. 

Where'd they all go?

Is it the same way around everyone else's towns and neighborhoods too.....or is it just here?

Same here... Even the people who had stickers/signs out last time around aren't putting them out this time...

One thing that gives me hope (for change) - I've met a LOT of people that voted for Obama last time, and are either voting for Romney this time around, 3rd party or not voting at all. Thus far I've met NO ONE that voted for McCain last time and says they'll be voting for Obama this time around...

Never ask a geek 'Why?',just nod your head and slowly back away...

On my way to work, I've seen a fellow that had a Hillary sticker on his car.  Noticed this week it had been replaced with an Obama sticker.  Other than that, I haven't seen much of the Obama stickers either.

Well, some of us conservitives actually responded to the liberal (obama) website invites so they sent us (me) free Obama bumperstickers.  HEHEHE.

I see enough of them ... worse, when I was in Chicago I was following my friend to a location I didn't know.  Had to follow her Obama bumper sticker for a good part of 3 days!!!

Talking to a mutual friend later, I commented that we differ on politics, the mutual friend asked "Oh, is she a Republican?"  "NO, but I am!"  We agreed not to discuss politics so we can continue to be friends.  And she's a retired doctor!  I thought doctors were among those who saw what a mess was being made of healthcare?

I'm curious, did you have a run in with the secret service yet? they may be too busy trying to fend off the hooker allegations from Cartagena :2funny:

They're (yard signs) all over NoVA, as you would expect, but so are the good guy's.  (please feel free to carpet bomb my area)

There are not as many bumper stickers as 4 years ago, but up here there are a lot of expensive cars.

"A mess of healthcare"?  That's the republican line.  I work in a pharmacy....5 pharmacists, they all agree the ACA is a good thing.  They all said, "something had to be done".

In the past 3 weeks, I have been to my Lung Dr. and my Diabetes Dr.  Both also say the ACA is a good thing.  Next week, I see my cardiologist.  I'll be asking her what she thinks.  :coolsmiley:  I think I see a trend.

Just a hunch, but I'd bet that you see alot of Obama signs in your world.

Well.....Id gladly be wrong, but I think there will be ten times the buyers remorse among those that are foolish enough to vote for "president" Obama again.  If he stays in we will see the REAL changes he has planned and I think no one will like it much. 

Trust me, I will apologize later if Im proven wrong

My wife and I were talking about this the other day. We have not seen but one Obummer sign around here. I think the Odummer supporters are still supporting him, just ashamed to admit it. That makes sense, duh :crazy2:

If they are to ashamed to openly support BO and company, shame on them. They'll reap their just reward. By the way, he's not my guy!

While I agree something had to be done, just not what was done. Many many more avenues to travel concerning our health care system before what was enacted should be explored.  :tickedoff:

Tom, I work in Gainesville which is a college town & I see more "O" stickers on cars than I do in Ocala where I live. Due to the abnormally high number of gubberment jobs in Gainesville/Alachua County the unemployment rate is lower there. I'm sure the high number of gullible college students are a big factor too.  :roll:
There's still time for them to grow up.... I hope! :-[

I've heard (don't have a clue if true) that in the mid terms 2010 union rank and file voted 40% repub.

Come to Florida I see very few signs but the ones I see are for O. It is so tempting my neighbor has a O sign on her front lawn.  :angel: Now there goes the neighborhood.

Same in Sanford...many R-R signs very,very few Obumer signs...I believe there will be landslide victory for R-R... the Obumer lovers are ashamed to say it out loud...

Up here in "Lefty-Land" there is still quite a few "Bo & Dopey" signs.  But, not nearly as many as four years ago.  Maybe the Dems are starting to see the light? 

I hope this state sends Brown back to D.C, Lizzy Warren scares me.

We drove to Tampa on Saturday, and saw one O sticker on the back of a Subaru wagon. I think Subaru's come from the dealer with them.
On the other hand we had people honking and giving us the thumbs up all day. I have a few R/R stickers on the back of my truck.
I work in near Kissimmee, I am very pleasantly surprised at how many people give me the thumbs up. Kissimmee is a very Hispanic community. I was at home Depot on Wednesday and a group of women came up to my truck and started smiling and saying something, my Spanish isn't that good but I did get the "Romney Ryan GOOD!"
I gave them yard signs.    ;D

 Could it be that the Democrats are arrogant enough to think they have Florida locked up that they don't need to advertise. HHMM..What do you think...

This sign is causing quite a stir in IN right now. Its located along highway 30 at the county line from Allen to Whitley counties. I like it......

I Like It.  :cooldude:

It does strike me as funny that the Dems automatically cry foul and assume that it implicates Obama.

I don't see his name on it anywhere.........................

Could it be that they secretly know the truth about their idol ?

I'm in CT, right next to Taxachusetts where Hook is from. Folks up here are blindly liberal, and so there are still lots of OBummer signs, though I also don't think as many as 4 years ago. We also have a very embittered Senate race, which pits a season business leader, Linda McMahon, of Pro Wrestling Fame, versus a career politician. While Pro Wrestling is not my thing, I'd rather have her than the Dem any day. He has missed 80% of all the votes and functions that he was to attend to.  :-\ :(

Put on about 100 miles on the phat gurl today in and around Bluffton, SC and took a non-scientific poll....

1 - Obama bumper sticker

6 - Romney bumper stickers; One of those should be disqualified as it was on a car with SC Legislature license plates!
