Surprising Road signs in Virginia..

Yesterday I was driving through Roanoke, Franklin and Henry counties in Southwestern/Southern Virginia along Rt220 and to my surprise there was like 10 Virgil Goode for President signs? I'm talking 4' x 8' signs they were just blue signs that said "President Goode" there were some smaller yard signs mixed in as well, wish I could have snapped some pictures, but rt 220 is kind of curvy road and I was driving, however it makes me wonder if there are Goode signs elsewhere (anybody else in Virginia seen any??) I know he was the Representative of the 5th district of Virginia in Congress which includes those counties and the GOP fought to try and keep him off the ballot in Virginia, he is going to take some votes from Romney in Southwestern/Southern Virginia and they knew it....

P.S. there were also quite a few Obama/Biden signs....we are winning VA

I keep trying to stomach their message boards to see how they are seeing things. The weird thing is how many of them are still bitter about the primaries and not at all wanting to vote for Romney..... They do hate President Obama though. Still, I think that some of them are wondering if their party would be better off just writing off the next four years.

Do they want Romney for possibly 8 years? If they wait 4 years they could maybe get a tea bagger! Welll...they can dream....

and in Goode's old district.

That is awesome news. 500 votes there (that is a high number) could make a huge difference.
