Just a couple of anecdotal events that I thought I'd share. This has NEVER happened to me before and I've been politically active since 1968. I have yard signs for Romney, George Allen and Scott Rigell up in my yard. I was leaving my house last evening to hit the driving range and a car stopped at my house and the driver got out and asked where I got my signs. I told him and then offered a Romney sign to him. I always carry a few extra fro friends. As soon as I got back from the driving range my doorbell rang. It was someone from the neighborhood out walking their dog who wanted to know where they could get a Romney sign. I gave him one. He said he'd never been active before and usually didn't even vote but he was voting this year and this would be the first campaign sign he ever put up (the guy was about 30). Then...today on my way to work, stopped at a light a car pulls up next to me and the driver starts making gestures at me to get my attention. I ignored him until he got out and knocked on my passenger window...he wanted to know where I got my Romney bumper stickers!
Three times in two days I've been approached by strangers wanting Romney gear. I know it's just anecdotal and really doesn't mean anything but I'm amazed by it...and encouraged.

(A vote for anyone but Romney is a vote for obama. GO MITT!!)

i live in NoVA and my evidence was anecdotal too, until i saw
this noting the lopsidedness of yard signs for Romney in NoVA. and the genius obamabot in the article who said yard signs don't vote? well if people are beating down the door looking for Romney signs, logically one would assume they care enough to go to the polls to vote for him on election day.

Well, it meant something to me. Really lifted my spirits. Thanks for posting this. You may want to mention Virginia somewhere in there, though, just in case folks don't know who George Allen and Scott Rigell are. Swing state stories are VERY important (to me, anyway). I grill my Dad every week for any new info he may have from Ohio.
