Why don't I see Obama signs?

Posted on 10/24/2008 7:19:23 PM PDT by RangerM

I do a good bit of traveling in my line of work, and have taken care to notice political signs in peoples' yards.

In the last month, I've been to Iowa, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Virginia, and Missouri. (I live in NC)

Now, I know that this is only my impression, but I can't get over the number of McCain signs I've seen, as opposed to the (lack of) Obama signs. With the exception of a very small part of West Virginia/Iowa, I haven't seen a significant number of Obama signs anywhere. Where are all these supporters?

Oklahoma/Virginia didn't surprise me, but Missouri? I thought I'd read that Obama was ahead in Missouri, and I bet the number of McCain to Obama signs ratio at least 5 to 1. Even in the case of the person supporting the Democrat Gubernatorial candidate, the house didn't have an Obama sign.

Seems strange to me. Any thoughts?

Since I live in the country, I think I’ll wander outside and take a leak on my McCain sign.

If they want it, they can have it.

Besides, I have a spare.

No, my Rep is the other guy... I'm so anti-Democrat that I don't even know the name of my Rep.

I'm an absolute, 28 hour-a-day, cspan-fox news-talk radio political junkie imbecile, and I don't even care what my Rep's name is because he's a vile, puke-faced, lizard-shit democrat Satan-worshiper.

It’s pegged as a celebration, but, suppose things don’t go well as the throngs watch the election returns coming in???

Obama won't lose on November 4. Even if McCain/Palin gets 20% more votes than Obama/Biden in all but one state, Obama won't lose until all possible recounts and challenges (including pressuring Congress to block all non-Obama Electors). As to whether that will work...

Believe it or not... A lady I know, a black lady who will be voting for McCain, just found out THIS week, that Obama's middle name is Hussein. Can you believe it?

Perhaps the thing to do would be to make a habit of referring to the candidates as "John S. McCain" and "Barack H. Obama". Let people's curiosity about his middle name get the better of them. If you tell liberals his name is Hussein, they'll hate you for it. But if they research it themselves, it may penetrate the Liberal Mind Fog.

" In Michigan (I believe), a pizza place (Obama supporters) are giving away a free pizza for every McCain/Palin sign brought in. "
More like, any McCain/Palin signs stolen, they would get a free Pizza...
They should have the McCain/Palin supporters put invisible ink or some kind of identification so that those who steal the signs won't notice , and have the police check out those signs being brought into that Pizza shop.

Take a leak on a couple of Obama signs instead. But be careful, don’t get your little Democrat shot off :)

I don't see a single Obama sign in my neighborhood.

No McCain signs either.

Quite baffling...

Yes I know it’s disgusting, isn’t it? At first I didn’t believe it. I told her that someone must have mixed up a concoction of some sort, but she said, from the smell, it was the genuine article. I suspect some Obama neighbor put their kid up to doing it. That’s not so surprising when you consider Baby Bama’s use of children in his campaign. I recall another infamous person who manipulated young people the same way....

They’re afraid to get shot in my area I’ll bet.
