I have noticed that there is a SEVERE lack of "Presidential" campaign signs in my area. NOTHING like it was in 2008. I mean......I don't even see bumper stickers of support for either candidate.
When I drive through the Black neighborhoods to picks up my kids.....nothing. No Obama signs.
Other parts of town......nothing.
Not even bumper stickers.
I think people are TRULY afraid. This is TRULY CREEPY!
There is a great family around the corner, bless their hearts, who have a sign that says "Vote Like Your Freedoms Depend On It". And I smile every time I pass it.......but NOTHING else.
I think people are afraid. Afraid to voice their opinion because of retaliation.
I NEVER thought we would become a country like this. But, here we are.

Along the same lines ... I have yet to (in the last three elections (state and national)) see any political signs that indicate any party affiliation.
i saw one for a county board member
There are signs everywhere here. Everyone wants Romney/Ryan signs and bumper stickers and they’re hard to come by.
Really weird compared to four years ago. They couldn't give McCain signs away at first. Then, as soon as he named Palin, they started flying off the shelves. FWIW, McCain-Palin carried out county by 58% and Reagan lost it to Mondale in his 1984 nationwide landslide.
“Its typically some 40-50 year old white pedophile-looking male, or some young 20-something dyke looking woman driving a hybrid with a Coexist sticker too.”
Bahahaha! That is a classic description!!
I’m surrounded by Ron Paulites. Some neighbors have even updated their Ron Paul signs for the 2012 election.
Only Obama bumper stickers are on cars with lots of union stickers and such—like Pro-Choice. Lots of the stickers do not have Biden’s name on them.
“Republicans and conservatives where I live are afraid any public Romney support will result in violence from the democrats (code word for AAs).”
Sad but true. I long for the days when men were not ‘afraod’.
I’m in southern New Hampshire and I hadn’t thought about it until now, but I’ve seen quite a few Romney signs and I don’t think I’ve seen any Obama signs. I’ve seen a few Obama bumper stickers, but some are from 2008. My teenage daughter just signed up with a friend to work with the Romney campaign, so maybe I’ll get the scoop on the lack of signs nationally. Perhaps the campaigns are spending their money differently this time around.
Obama Romney Elected Elected \ / \ / \ / \ / | | IMPLEMENTS SOCIALISM
Both are socialists, IOW there is very little actual difference between the two.
Blakanzied The way I posted is spelled wrong, I had was posting on the run. (which is something you should never do)
Depending on the area though, its quite possible people are refraining from making their house a target for the local Obama-youth.
Are people just embarrassed to admit their party affiliation? A friend said that he thought the candidates wanted to run on the issues rather than party ... I thought they were one and that same.
I saw a lot of Romney signs on the northeast end of Long Island. That’s about it for both men.
I long for the days when the President was not “afraud”
My neighborhood (San Antonio).....a couple of Romney/Ryan yard signs and a few for local races. Otherwise, nada. It would seem that the bloom is off the rose.
LOL! A Chair? LOVE it!
The dimwits are more worried about the environment than the election. I see signs protesting the keystone pipeline and little else.
I was a delegate at the 2008 NH Rep Convention, people were cutting McLames name off of the stickers that were handed out.
