The whole absentee/early voting thing has always been a worry for me, too.
The TV ads here are running about 50/50. I live in rural central VA, and I haven’t seen any Obama yard signs at all; they’re all Romney-Ryan. No, that’s wrong....I’ve seen one place with an Obama sign, and it belongs to an elderly widow up the road who runs a little diner-type restaurant (crazy). But the other day I was driving through an inner-city low income neighborhood, and I was shocked to see a little house with a yard full of Romney signs.
I’ve seen three or four Obama ‘12 bumperstickers in the city, but a couple were “Another Mama for Obama”. I assume those were Obama’s black base.
But I have to say a year ago, when we first moved here....lots of Obama 2008 stickers of all styles.....In one year's time they really have become harder to find. only a few Obama 2008 and I've only taken note of maybe four Obama 2012.
The Gay marriage issue has the Black Churches in an uproar....Which i think is a big reason for the sticker removal ...that and maybe embarassment.....add to that the "Three times NO" at the convention and I can't wait to see how the wind blows here on election day...espcially the voter totals in select countes around Atlanta.
The Chick-fil-a thing down here went crazy....So many cars everywhere trying to buy from them.......people standing inside buying whatever they had left to buy. Several ran out of everything, and I can tell you in Lakewood, Ohio(Northeastern Ohio-Cleveland suburb) The Chick-fil-a by my brother had to close around 4pm...totally wiped out of food.
It's going to be interesting at the very least for sure....The Rat Media will cling to the polls to the bitter end...and quite frankly if they came up to me I'd tell them how excited I am to vote for Obozo just to screw with them out of pure hatred for their dirty underhanded ways.
