Here in my part of the Southside — NO Obama yard signs. And my wife ran into a neighbor at the store who said she had never voted Republican before, but she will this year.
90% here for Romney in Belvidere N.J. in Warren County.
But we do not reflect the left leaners in the rest of this God forsaken state.
Northern King County, WA.
2008 - Obama overflowing, overflowing to the seas — the Puget Sound and Lake Washington. No McCain.
2012 - Have counted 2 Obama signs and 7 Romney signs. There are still some Obama bumper stickers but those are very, very rare, I’d guess I’ve seen maybe 10 so far. Have seen only 2 Romney stickers.
Drop? Hardly! I am in Ohio (that’s O H I O!) and people here are stoked!
We KNOW it’s over for “O”
Northern Ohio. Cleveland/Akron,,,, lotsa union members.
From the conversations I've had with lifelong Democrats, I'd say half or more of them are going to vote for Romney. Now, the city of Buffalo, that's another story.
People know if they have a Romney sign or sticker on their car, their property will be vandalized.
Wife and I will be early voting at the library Saturday (first day of early voting). I will report on how that went afterwards.
Just drove from Port St. Lucie to Pensacola Florida. Saw whole bunch of billboards attacking obammy, None supporting his sorry ass.
Saw multitudes of Romney Ryan stuff all the way very few obammy stuff and NO biden anything,
Course I failed to visit any of Holders neighborhoods
Bucks County(Phila. Suburb)PA
In 2008 Obama signs, bumper stickers, buttons were 10 to 1 for Obama. (Personally, know 3 Republicans who bought “Purple America” and Hopey Changey. All have confessed to making worst mistake of life.)
In 2012 many more Romney signs than Obama. Noticeable lack of Obama energy compared to 4 years ago.
Count California - only one lame Obama sign in the area (though it’s a relatively affluent suburban area - there were tons in 2008) - and the one lone sign I’ve seen is just the Obama “sun” logo without “Obama” name even. But, most notably, Bill Clinton was here stumping this week, followed by Obama on his “extravaganza”. Which leaves one puzzled - the only rationale I can come up with is there is the good union bill Prop. 32 and it may be more out of concern for the down ballot races & fulfilling obligations to the unions. Latest polls in CA do have Obama down significantly but “breezing” by 8%
Do you mean you've talked to a number of blacks and they are only for Romney?
In Evanston, just North of Chicago, I've been around many blanks. About a third of them that expressed an opinion were low-key Obama supporters, with the exception of one cheerleader, but she was nice about it.
When God asks you whether you stood and delivered in this pivotal election, you are in good shape!
Thank you for your example.
New Market, Va
Romney/Ryan signs are beginning to fade, grass is growing tall around them. Most of the rich hippies(Simon SlumLord) still have their cars plastered with Zero Is MY Hero Stickers. Note rich affluent white hippie types.
Gomorrah(A_Sheville, NC) to the south seems to be the center of the Obama universe according to family members still living there.
Word from there is bunko county is Romney 53, Zero 44!
Too good to be true, or is it?
Right Turns

2008 they had about a dozen Obama signs in their yard plus another dozen for various Dem. state candidates.
So far this year, NO SIGNS AT ALL! Even in the VFW (Very Few Whites) neighborhoods.
Driving around central Florida, the only Obama signs are on cars driven by blacks or older white women. Have not seen a single yard sign for Obama.
Romney signs started showing up after the first debate and are now steadily multiplying.
Mind you this is in Polk County, Florida, where we are a bit more conservative than other parts of the state.
You may recall the famous quote from our County Sheriff, Grady Judd, after one of his Deputies and K-9 partner were killed, and another Deputy was severely wounded was asked by a reporter why the perp was shot over 100 times "It could have been more, but we ran out of bullets."
Western Washington-Kitsap Peninsula, I’ve seen a total of 3 Obama yard signs. 2 were removed overnight the 3rd remained defaced for a week or so until it was removed with a bunch of others.
Maybe her standing among blacks explains why she was so damn diplomatic when Greta asked her about Benghazi last night, which to think of it is a bit like Romney.
Judging from my Facebook wall, you’d think Obama was winning by a mile. I have misguided friends!
But in the real world, the signs around the east side of Cleveland are mostly Romney/Ryan. People may be voting Obama, but they’re definitely not showing it like four years ago.
Southwest Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh/Eastern Suburbs):
In 2008, there were Obama signs everywhere; same with bumperstickers. 2012 is a much different story. In my area, I have seen Romney signs EVERYWHERE! The only signs that had Obama’s name on them were the ones that said STOP THE WAR ON COAL, FIRE OBAMA. I’ve seen only 3 Obama signs thoughout my travels in Penn Hills, Plum, Monroeville and Murrysville, but countless Romney signs, even the big 3x5 foot signs in front yards. Penn Hills has a big black population and is heavily democrat. The majority of signs I’ve seen have been Romney. I’ve seen two Bam signs, but they were in the same yard.
In addition, I travel to Greene County a great deal. Romney everywhere, nothing for Obama. I was in Jefferson County last week. Again, Romney EVERYWHERE, no Obama.
The only place I’ve seen a lot of Obama signs has been in Mount Lebanon, a very wealthy community (lots of rich liberals), but even there, the Romney signs seemed about even.
In SWPA, you have a lot of coal jobs and businesses relying on the coal operations as well. I think that you’ll see a great deal of switching in the Pittsburgh/Scranton/Philly areas as there are a lot of coal miners in those regions. JMO, but I think that this, along with the Philly suburbs flipping to Mitt, will turn PA red on Nov. 6.
