Yippee, good news here, I was concerned about lack of signs,
anyone's signs. A few of Obama, a few mcsame.

Not today. I just got back from running errands and paying some bills, there are signs everywhere.

TADAAH:

Mostly Obama!

I won't sleep tonight, this campaign is giving me too much to worry about. We deserve a break from these awful 8 years. If someone is watching over us, we need his vote too.

1. You don't see them in dark blue states.
I've also never been asked to buy them until now.

And I have one in my window...

My sister has one on the lot line shared with her next door neighbor, too!

There's McSame/Failin signs in the next town, but I don't go there!

3. Yeah, but go to a battleground state and you see a LOT more. I got mine...
in Toronto from a friend that had been in Virginia.

4. Great... O/B signs do little good in NH these days!
I think we will have a clean sweep for O/B, for the new Dem Senator Mrs. former Gov. Shaheen

and for the house. Our state Legislature House/Senate is Dem majority for the last two years.

McCain/Palin people are disgusting stingy racists and religious anti-abortion nuts

5. I can't believe this! I checked your profile to see if you live in MA (where I live)
because I just sent an email to a friend saying the very same thing.

I wrote:


Yesterday, I was driving down 6A and saw, for the first time, finally, signs for Obama!
Overnight, they just popped up, interrupting the long line of McCain/Palin signs that made me mad
every time I went on 6A. It was like all these closet Obama supporters just popped out of the ground
at the last minute. I don't understand the timing, but it's GREAT!!!!!!! My heart has wings!

Omg, OMG... the election is............TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So what do you make of this phenomenon, yy4me?

7. In the beginning I was worried and have continued to be so. I live
in a predominately rethug town and have always tiptoed around some of my friends that are of
a different political persuasion. I'm not a good arguer. I've had my sign in my house window for ages. Would never trust it to the yard, it would be swiped immediately. Have car signs too. Wore my "1.20.2009 ****'s last day" T-shirt to a July 4th party and was cheered. I told them it was the most patriotic thing I could do on that day. It has been a little difficult to talk politics here, people have not been willing to have real discussions. They have their positions and do not seem to want to talk about them with others. I even had an argument at the dump Saturday over politics. I will have the last laugh tomorrow on that one.

As to why no signs until now, I can't explain it except to speculate that we of the Bay State have finally accepted that this election might still be subject to hankey-pankey and we need every vote we can get. And we are finally, collectively, getting enough courage to make our positions known.

Who knows but it was sure good to see!

8. Well, it definitely is a weird phenomenon but, as you say, it sure is good to see!
I was literally elated yesterday when I noticed. Even at the supermarket, I suddenly saw
lots of cars with stickers on them for the first time.

GOBAMA!!!!!
