Has anyone ever done a study on their effectiveness? The reason I'm asking is that I live in a first ring suburb. There are plenty of former city folk who have fled the wreckage for the suburbs. Most of them I think don't bother to vote. But if they see the old man across the street is supporting Bush, I'm afraid they'll feel compelled to cancel my vote. Obviously, I'd prefer them to stay home.
I have always put yard signs up in the past, but I've been worrying lately due to some comments that I've gotten that yard signs energize the opposition.
I do not know what research shows on bumper/yard signs. However, for me and my family, we support President Bush, we stand proud and would like our neighbors, church goers, non-church goers, MCDonald drive through people, to know we stand for President Bush. I think the more they see, the more they want the one who has support to win. Everyone goes with a winner................ Bush is a winner.
