I just drove home (Hampden Twp./Mechanicsburg, PA) from work (Capitol Complex/Harrisburg, PA). Yesterday on the drive home I spotted a total of three Obama signs in Cumberland County and one in Harrisburg. (My drive in Harrisburg is less than a mile - straight shot from 7th Street down Forester and over the river to Cumberland county).

Today, the only sign that remained was in Dauphin County. There are numerous Romney and Tom Smith signs on the drive home. I am not sure what happened to the Obama signs, but the other Rat signs that stood next them are still standing today.

I am wondering if this is a result of dirty tricks or people are changing there minds over the Libya business. In my neighborhood there hasn't been a single Obama sign, even at the residence of the local liberal Vietnam War hero.

Interesting story on that. He came out and supported John F'n Kerry as a fellow hero from the Navy. It turns out, he served on an oiler during the war and never saw action. There's nothing wrong with that, but he promoted himself as a hero. Beware of anyone that is a self declared hero. Ever since he was "discovered" he and his family have been ridiculed. His poor grand daughter who lives with him is abused by neighborhood kids (mine included). She wears her family politics on her selve when she should just be a kid and having fun.

My 80yo mother, a lifelong Dhimm who I love dearly aside from her heretofore political cluelessness, is voting for R/R this time !

How's that for enthusiasm ?

And there will be millions more like her .. people old enough to remember what this Nation used to be, and despise the direction it's been hijacked toward under this muslim marxist fake negro con artist.

They loathe our national decency being perverted by the rampant destruction of the rags / queers / green slime / thugs / lunatic judiciary / on and on and on.

I noticed very few Obama signs or bumper sticker in Michigan. Over the past thirty years I known the locations of dem yard signs (Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Obama 2008). The usual dem suspects either have no enthusiasm, are embarrassed or voting Romney.

Obama signs where I live are down to about one-third of their 2008 levels.

Romney signs are more plentiful than McCain signs were, but not greatly so. Republicans such as myself aren't as public with their politics as Democrats are, at least where I live.

I know of a couple of semi-rural roads in lake country near me (between Oneida Lake's southern shore and the New York State Thruway) where you will see home after home, for miles, with large "Throw Them All OUT Vote Republican" signs. Red paint on white background, maybe 4x5 feet in size.

I was in the Philadelphia suburbs last week (the Main Line). In 2008, this area was very heavy Obama country. Last week I observed a roughly even balance between Obama and R+R signs there. Very few bumper stickers though because people don't want their SUVs messed with.

During my media interviews during the Tampa GOP Convention I pointed-out that Myth's greatest weakness would turn-out to be ...

the "precient-level" Tea Party Evangelical Christian "infanrty support" that's always ESSENTIAL in winning an election ...



Sure ... Rev. Billy Graham recent "quasi-endorsed" Myth Romney ...

and certainly, many Evangelical Christians will decide to actually vote for Myth ...



However ... they WON'T be placing Yard Signs at their homes, placing Mitt bumper stickers on their cars and trucks ...

or volunteering at the local GOP 2012 Telephone Banks.

Myth Romney's open contempt for the Tea Party ... and his Mormon beliefs ...

have been deliberately IGNORED and UNDER-REPORTED in the news media.



Myth has done suprisingly well in the three debates ...

but his position as a "Pathological Political Liar" ...

as I said on NBC News ... is a "genuine fact".



Indeed, it's been reported today that Bill Clinton told the Obama Campaign about 6 months ago ...

to focus on Myth Romney as a "Severely Conservative" Bush-Wanna-Be candidate ...

instead the "original" Obama strategy of reminding America that Myth Romney will "say anything" to get elected.

Bad advice, indeed ... since Clinton's advice hasn't worked at all ...



Make no mistake ... Obama is a DISASTER for America.

Period.



However, if Myth Romney loses this campaign ...

political historians will IMMEDIATELY look at Myth's "horrible" arrogance and stupidity in NOT letting ...

Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin, Hermain Cain, and Rick Perry ...

speak at the Tampa 2012 GOP Convention.

On my drive home today {13 miles} I counted 13 Presidential signs, 11 were Romney/Ryan and the other 2 were, "Save coal, fire obama".

There was not a single obama/biden sign, and I have noticed very few obama 2012 bumper stickers.

I personally know 15 people that either didn't vote or voted for obama in '08 and are now 100% all in for Romney/Ryan.

I know that 15 people don't make up the entire PA set of voters but it is very encouraging.

Two Obama/Biden signs up the street from me. This is in a precinct that was strongly Democrat when I was Republican precinct committeeman. On the other hand, I've hardly seen any R/R signs anywhere in the county, and no bumper stickers. Not sure what all this means. Maybe everyone has the same attitude I have: I'll hold my nose and vote for Romney, but he hasn't done anything to EARN my vote except be "not Obama."
