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?
I just spoke with someone in Central Ohio today that said there are 0bama signs everywhere unfortunately.
The signs are here in socialist Connecticut.
You need to be driving in the cities. Outside the city limits, O’Bomber is an enemy of the people.
Can’t tell you why, but I can say there aren’t that many in Erie, PA. Maybe 2:1 for 0bama, in what is traditionally a larger Dem area. Several yards with congressional signs, but none for 0.
Come to Caleeeeeforneeeeeya...
Sometimes people space out when they drive. You missed obama signs along major throughways in West Virginia?
Increasing number of M/P signs, too. The GOP hq’s have been out for some time, but are now getting them in. I’m still amazed at the local dem candidates getting sign support, but those lawns are without obama signs.
The most active supporters are in the Network commissaries.
I bet every house used to have them, but they were probably stolen by mean racist republicans and traded in for free pizza.

They are all over liberal Long Island NY.
I’m spending the night in Festus, MO. Not far from St Louis. Not a single Obama sign sighted, although I’m sure they must be there. Just not along I-55 or I-44 (today).
Nobody can get them because they are all sold out. Riiiiggggght.
There is 1 (one) Obama sign in my community. Total non presence. I see maybe 10 to 1 McCain bumper stickers. This is North San Diego, Ca. county
As a salesman, you’re probably just going to places where people work; not likely to find Democrats there.
That, or try cemetaries. Lots of Obama signs in cemetaries for some reason.
In my neck of the woods they made supporters buy the O signs. I think the supporters only want stuff paid for with other people’s money.

There are tons of 0bama signs here in my conservative suburb of KC. I don’t see a lot of McCain signs. I think folks are afraid their cars or homes will be vandalized.
There are many in Wisconsin, SW especially. Almost as many McCain signs as well. I drive about 300 miles/day, mostly SW, but a day in N central as well...it’s going to be close judging from the signs alone.
