Nothing in Seattle either and we’ve been driving around Capitol Hill, Ballard, Lake City, and all the other foofoo neighborhoods! In 2008 Obama was EVERYWHERE and on EVERY THIRD CAR (especially SUVs, which ticked me off)
i live in Northern VA and i see NO obama signs, but i do see Romney. Now my 18 yo daughter volunteers for Romney so we have yard signs and have been giving them to neighbors and friends, but even apart from our’s i am seeing them. But in places which were blanketed with Obama signs four years ago, i see none. i have no idea what’s up.
Personally, I think it is apathy and disappointment and shame for the 2008 voters, and I think it is prudence on the part of those against Obama.
His voters aren’t enthusiastic, but if you let them know in their face with a bumper sticker or yard sign you are asking for a “Burger King Hissy Fit” on your lawn or at your car window. So it is quiet support.
Even in Atlanta or surrounding metro, I see far, far, far fewer Obama stickers on cars. Only one yard sign so far.
We have talked about this in several threads. There seems to be a significant reduction in the number of Obama bumper stickers and yard signs, as opposed to 2008. In 2008 they were all over the place. I drove from the NYC area to Boston, and back, this past weekend and saw two Obama bumper stickers ad o yard signs. IMO, this is a very good sign (pun intended!) for R&R!
Here in MA (Northeast corner) I see lots of signs for Scott Brown and the GOP candidate for 6th district, Rich Tisei. Though in a couple towns, Gloucester and Rockport, lots of signs for Obama/ Liz Warren/ John Tierney (Dem incumbent in MA-6). Romney has had tough time getting signs to people (or maybe they're getting ripped off?)
Good point. Very sparse in the Indy area.
I think people are just tired of it all and just want to get to the vote and get it over with, one way or the other.
Either no money from both campaigns to fund free yard signs or the Print shops have all gone out of business, thanks to the narcissist’s economy!! I believe the latter!
I live in what is considered an upper middle class neighborhood in suburban Minneapolis. It trends liberal, and my very liberal state senator lives just up the street from me. Every presidential year, I walk around my neighborhood and count the presidential campaign signs. In 2008 I counted 12 Obama signs and 1 McCain sign (mine). This year, there are 2 Obama signs and 1 Romney (mine).
The only place we’ve seen a concentration of yard signs is on Deer Isle in Maine. In this relatively small area a couple of dozen Obama signs. No GOP signs. I think that most of the properties with the signs were the homes or shops of “artisans.”
I am the only Romney sign on my block.
2 Obamugabe signs.
Battleground state of Florida.
Putting an Obama sign in your yard is the same as announcing, “I support using government force to confiscate the fruits of your labor so the government can give me ‘free’ stuff. Now get to work, tax slave!”
Now, just because they don’t want to display a sign doesn’t mean they won’t support Obama and the party of looters and moochers behind close doors. I have friends who I don’t even care to speak to anymore because I know they support Obama.
I like the yard sign that said “ YOU VOTED FOR 0BAMA THE FIRST TIME TO PROVE YOU WEREN”T A RACIST ,,, DON”T VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN TO PROVE YOU’RE AN IDIOT “ .
There’s a definite lack of yard signs and bumper stickers in the Puget Sound for national elections.
Still waiting for my Romney sign... they’re supposed to ship next week.
Just got an email from Romney campaign in FL that they will have yard signs on Oct. 1st. Can pick them up at campaign offices.
Here in Yankee-infested Central NC, very few Obama yard signs, a few auto stickers of his, a few Romney yard signs...most supporters advertise in support of Pat McCrory, the Rep. who’ll be replacing our execrable Gov. Bev Perdue.
But this is more disturbing: I have now visited Romney's regional campaign headquarters and the Republican state headquarters a total of five times over the past month.
They have no yard signs and no bumper stickers. None. Zero. I have been told that the entire state is "dry" and that repeated requests from the campaign offices have gone unfulfilled. Today I saw the first Romney campaign ad that I have seen in weeks (although Obama ads are on every day).
Make of that what you will, but if they're going to start a ground campaign here, they'd better do it soon.
I’ve see no signs in for either man in Nassau County New York. I’ve seen a lot of Romney signs on the northeast end of Suffolk county.
I’m seeing a majority of Romney signs here in Hampton Roads in Virginia. Bumper stickers are about even. Overall, a fraction of both, compared to 2008.
