You get the credit for posting the question first, realcleanguy — you beat me to it.
Another, more anecdotal question. Remember those neighbors of yours that had Obama signs in their yard in 2008? (You know, the ones you were scheming with yourself how to steal without being caught but you never actually did?)
How many of those neighbors have Obama signs in their yards this go round?
There are a lot of Democrats that aren’t voting for Obama this time, and more Republicans that are voting for Romney than did for McCain.
I did notice that, a lot less in fact a total absence of Obama signs in front yards this year, and a lot less stickers on cars
