CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Whether he likes it or not, President Barack Obama is becoming a spokesman for West Virginia's Republican Party.

The GOP is planting 2,500 yard signs across the state starting Wednesday that simply read "Obama Says 'Vote Democrat.'"

It's the latest effort by Republicans to tie West Virginia Democrats to a president deemed unpopular in the Mountain State...

OOPPPPSSS I missed that it was the GOP.On that case this is brilliant!Obama is about as popular as fleas are in WV.

[agincourt1415]

West Viginia Republicans? These guys are not RINOs! I am so excited! Its pure genius!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Brilliant. Just BRILLIANT.

And they cannot say a DAMNED THING ABOUT IT OR COMPLAIN. BRILLIANT.

[FlipWilson]

Absolutely brilliant. But I would go one further. MORE HOPE? MORE CHANGE? VOTE MANCIN!?!

excellent

will drive the ‘rats crazy stealing yard signs for their own man

[chris_bdba]

OHHHH that is a good one too!

I dont know if this is illegal or not in some or any localities in the US, but I would have a bunch of Obama (head/shoulders photo) stickers about 12" x 12" with strong adhesive backing, made up in the thousands. Nothing else--no words, nothing. Just Obongo's BIG SMILING FACE. Maybe his official presidential portrait.

And late at night, go around and affix them to the corners of the campaign signs that are up for the Democratic Congressional candidate, if he is) an incumbent; and b) in any significant way supported Obama's election and his first two years of policies.

Technically it really is not defacing or destroying anything as you are not tearing anything down, AND you are not lying, because you are simply affixing "Obama" to an "Obama" supporter.

There would be a lot of adventurous, quick on their feet Young Republican types whom I think would love to do this over the next several weeks across the nation.

Just a thought.

Big pictures of obama everywhere, with the notation “You All Know Who I Am” and

VOTE DEMOCRAT- and Keep the Change!

It just seems bad marketing.

the medium is the message. Obama’s name everywhere and “vote democrat” the brain willnot register the way you think just the medium. This is going to backfire.

I see you haven’t lost your faith in the competency of WV voters.

[AmericanInTokyo]

I see your point. Yes. But, if the Democrats are viscerally p*ssed about it, somebody's on to something.

See if they start freaking and demanding the signs be taken down.

If said so in earnest, then we have hit a nerve.

Then drive the battering ram right through them. Put up even more.
