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.
PA has tilted solid Kerry of late - Kerry is leading in the last 12 polls out of PA (though we don't need PA to win) -
With that said, OH,FL,NH,WV,AR,VA,NV and MO all still seem in play for Kerry - Which is not good -
The one State GWB looks to take from Kerry is possibly WI - and an ever bigger reach would be IA (MN,OR,WA and MI are all extreme long shots) -
In the past two elections, I've had two people say to me that they weren't going to bother voting, but they thought they'd go just to cancel out my vote.
But lately I've been wondering if a Nadar sign would do more good in my neighborhood? I think I could get a neighbor who votes 2nd ammendment only to put up a Nadar sign as well. I've been thinking if I get a few more friends from my town to support Ralphie, the local libs might start thinking Nadar stands a chance, or that Kerry's not worth supporting.
The obvious glitch is that both my 2nd ammendment friend and I are pretty much expected to put signs up for Bush.
