Others have mentioned similar observations.

It may be your neighbors are bitter gun loving Christian nascar rednecks. ;-)

Here in Texas, I have seen ONLY Barry stickers and a couple of Barry yard signs.

BTW, ALL were on vehicles being driven by blacks.

I ordered mine Labor Day weekend, Sunday I think, and still have not received them. They sent an email saying due to the overwhelming demand they were backordered and working hard to fulfill all orders ASAP. My sister who ordered a day or two after me received hers on Monday so hoping mine show up soon.

My guess is they are not behind the ‘O’.

People usually always do signs to show who they suuport.

Keeping hidden may mean they know others konw how rhw usually vote. But this time they are voting R.

I’m in PA and I’m actually surprised at the number of McCain yard signs that I’m seeing! My kids even come home and report that a new McCain sign went up!

I haven't seen much in the way of signs or stickers at all.

Houston Texas and areas north of it.

LOTS of McCain signs in my little corner of Ohio (near Dayton). I don’t see many bumper stickers for either candidate.

I haven’t seen a single yard sign here in Orange County, CA. I’ve seen one McCain bumper sticker and a handful of Obama stickers on granola-mobiles.

People for McCain/Palin don't put out signs because of a fear of vandalism or personal violence. People for Obama/Biden don't put out signs because they will ultimately vote McCain/Palin and hope that you will too.

McCain/Palin
Landslide in '08!

I think the campaigns realized yard signs and bumper stickers are not an effective use of money. They are more useful in local/state elections where name recognition is important. The local Obama campaign was charging $10 a piece for signs back in July. Not sure if they are still doing that. Not to mention the threat of vandalism has been rising over the last decade for cars with Republican bumper stickers!

Here in southeast Virgina I haven’t noticed many, just a few here or there, slightly in favor of McCain.

Much different than the 2004 elections.

People vandalize cars with stickers these days (it happened to me last election).

I still have a McCain sticker on one car - but lock it in the garage each night ...

I live in a rural town in Southwestern IL. The very large Obama signs are up in this town as you enter or leave the town (put up by local democratic party).

Someone took black spray paint to all the large Obama signs by painting a large circle with a diagonal slash mark through each circle. (the vandals left the other large democrat signs alone that were set up right next to the Obama signs.)

I should take some pictures of them and post them on FR.

I just laughed my @ss off when I saw it. (even though it is vandalism)

The past few days, in Vermont and the Lake Placid/Saranac Lake region of upper New York state, I saw hundreds of political signs for local elections and amazingly none for Obama and a handful for McCain. Very unusual.

You ain’t nuts. Well, maybe you are nuts, but not b/c of your observation.

Here in CA there are far fewer signs/stickers. I’m near a UC campus & normally I’d see cars plastered with them.

And on my street? One Obama (which makes me grit my teeth every time I see it) & 2 McCain. Course one’s mine, but the other, I had nothing to do with!
