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.

It is a bit more technical.. I am involved in the Republican Party in AZ. Just two days ago we were told that signs and bumper stickers were available. They couldn’t be released until after the convention. You will be seeing a lot more as the weeks progress.
Swing states...
Let me predict this, I think some states that are typically solid blue states, that are not thought to be in contention, will go Romney’s way handily.
I think people are disgusted, and while not vocal about their political sentiments, they will hand Obama a defeat of epic proportions!
The media will be weeping for days! Then they can blame Hillary for costing Obama the election with her poor leadership in the Middle East.
The September gift to Romney they’ll call it. They might even blame Israel.
Obama will think he has saved face and will spend the remainder of his able-bodied life attempting to get re-elected for his second term.
I saw a bleached blond old hag driving a Subaru with a roof rack and 0bama2012 bumper sticker the other day.
More often, I see Tea Party and NoBama bumper stickers, but few Romney bumper stickers.
In many cases, at least for GOP....you have to buy the signs....people I know who’ve ordered them are still waiting for them....also, the OK for signs to go up around here JUST happened a couple weeks ago....(I never knew there were laws about this until this year!)
The Northern New England States are on the poor side especially in the North away from the Mass border. When you give away 45% of your income for food and fuel you are bound to piss off a bunch of people.
call your local GOP. They should have them next week.

I’ve had my car keyed. Lots of union thugs.
Noticed that as well. My brother and I did get our “No!” stickers (”O” is dumbo’s symbol) on our cars a few weeks back. No keying yet, but I expect it before it’s over.
I've stopped having stickers on my car because I think the cops can find you faster if you have identifying marks on your car, not that I've done anything wrong....LOL
You both forgot to profile the car. Either some old POS Volvo or toyota with a cloud of smoke following it or some fancy hybrid “I’m greener than you” car.
I have seen my fair share of Obama 12 stickers this year. but I am in Minnesota and even here, that number is way off.
In NH: You have to be registered in the Party. You have to have this confirmed by the Town Clerk.
You then fill out a form and submit it to the State Party.
You are then placed on the Ballot and elected by the Party Members in your town during the Primary Election every two years.
You have two duties: Approve the State Party Platform and elect the County Committee, both can be interesting.
You live near one of the Universities or something? Being from Kansas I find that hard to believe. Now, I'm in Washington state. I've seen two Obama election signs which both disappeared overnight. Nice to know I'm not alone around here.
HA...Nope...the local GOP is crying for them
Pure habit? Increased government corruption / political-integration? Because it simply doesn't matter?
It’s still early yet but now that you mention it... yeah. Weird.
Two things in this country will get one
dead, these days.
Those two things are politics and religion.
Americans are intelligent.
The smell of intelligence is in the air,
and in the lack of signs.
America is possibly on War Footing!
Praying for the best, Preparing for the worst.
Its not that I’m not brave... its just that I love my car sooo much! And you can’t see my house from the Hwy so no point having a yard sign. I guess I should get a tee-shirt.
