OWENSBORO, KY (WFIE) - Someone is cutting the Palin out of the McCain-Palin campaign signs in Western Kentucky.
With less than a month to go in the campaign season, tensions are starting to reach a boiling point in Owensboro after a series of vandalized campaign signs.
Stealing or vandalizing political signs is not uncommon during election season, but what makes this case unique is that someone actually took the time to cut out the name of Sarah Palin.
"In campaigns we're all used to these types of things happening but I've never seen just one name cut out of a sign before," said Robin Mercer of the Daviess County Republican Party.
"It just seems kind of odd that they're taking the time, going through the trouble of just surgically removing part of the sign and it takes some time to do that," said Tom Turner whose sign was vandalized.

There’s a “Biden-Palin” sign in my neighborhood. Had to drive by it twice to make sure my eyes were working!
Ahhh, I remember when hubby had to have a Kerry sign right before the election and I turned it into a Scary Kerry Sign with Halloween directions and such. ;0)
I have (or obama) has successfully turned around his illogical liberal thinking. He even told his liberal family he was voting for McCain!
lol Was just going to ask if you are still married!
BEAUTIFUL! Acts of desperation! Gotta love it: we shall see more and more of this in the coming weeks.
Has anyone seen Todd lately?
Ah, yes the good ole days .
Scarey Kerry and the Herman Munster head!
It was so popular with the neighborhood kids during Halloween
LLS
I wonder if we will ever have another election.
Its not me. I only remove McCains name from those signs.
It would seem to me that some good YouTube footage could be created by setting up McCain/Palin signs and then, maybe from a van conveniently parked nearby, film those who perform any kind of vandalism. Telephoto lens would help to show the perps’ faces. Never mind trying to get the authorities to intervene, just post on YouTube asking, “Do you know these people?”
Good idea. But make sure that the camera is a good one that will provide sharp, clear images. One thing I cant stand is hidden camera footage that is unclear, grainy or blurry.
The GOP should make campaign signs with those exploding ink packs like the banks use. You could set them up, set the “trigger mechanism,” and then forget about them. Sooner or later everyone will know who the loser was when he or she has to go around town for two weeks wearing a garish color because he or she just couldn’t stand to leave other people’s property alone....
