Title: I see Obama signs, and I'm very wealthy. (proud2blyingkansan)

I realize yard signs don't win elections.

But I noticed something interesting today. I live in the wealthiest county in a very red state. Today I drove through the wealthiest neighborhood in this wealthy county and was stunned by the number of Obama signs. Also signs for local Democrats running for office. Normally there are mainly Republican signs and very few Democratic signs in this particular neighborhood. But not this year. The Romney and Obama signs were about 50/50. But the local races were represented by a vast majority of Democratic signs. I'd say that was closer to 90/10.

In a Republican dominated county in a red state, this is huge.

But like I said, I realize yard signs don't win elections

1. It's the same here in Tulsa. Many of the wealthier folks

are Democrats.
Here in my very middle-middle class neighborhood there is one sign. It's for Obama-Biden.

2. This is a big change. More like a big lie, but it let's you brag about being rich.)

I've lived here nearly all my life and it's not unusual to not see ANY Democratic signs in that particular neighborhood.

This has almost always been the case they have just never wanted to publicly knowledge it.

I have been having conversations with conservative friends for years about why some of the wealthiest people vote D.  I live in the Nashville area and the are some extremely rich Democrats in the area including people in the music industry and the music industry is notoriously liberal.

That's why I have always argued till I am blue in the face with the whole the Republicans are for the rich argument.  I know a lot of wealthy R's but I know just as many or more wealthy D's.

So these evil rich bastards are democrats?  Not something I want to advertise if I'm trying to spread class envy.

Funny but this week I had the opportunity to drive from downtown Raleigh, through Durham to Roanoke.

The immediate area around downtown Raleigh isn't a place you want to be after dark and it's littered with Obummer signs.  As soon as you get to the better areas it's mostly Romney.  Entering east Durham there was an equal number or crack dealers, winos,  crack ho's and Obama signs.  Get outside or Durham, nice houses, nice farms and Romney signs.  All the way to Roanoke, nothing but Romney signs.

Ok...Nancy, you are full of shit.  I lived in Tulsa for 6 years, there is no way Oklahoma, or Tulsa for that matter, will go for Obama.

Not a single Oklahoma county went for Obama in 2008.  I predict a repeat.

My dear niece just moved out there!

I hope she doesn't get too liberalized.

Oh yes, I was going to bring this one here. If she's babbling about Johnson Country down there in Kansas, she can forget about it - 21/22 state Reps are GOP, and every state senator from her district is as well.

6. It doesn't look like Romney has much of a ground game.

And you can't win elections without a ground game. 

She is a retard.

My husband was in Bubba country all last week.  Hope Arkansas.   He even called me laughing as he crossed Bill Clinton Drive.

You would think being that deep in Dem territory he'd see at least one Obama sign or bumper sticker.

He saw none.

There are Romney/Ryan signs in my hood.  :-)

Probably because everyone works hard for their money.  No deadbeats here. :lmao:

I live in a blue part of Texas. I see about 50/50.

Of course, most of the Obama stickers are on the hoopdies the welfare brats drive.

The hateful, squinty-eyed bitch Anne Pritchett is hardly wealthy, and I doubt she lives anywhere near any wealthy people.

This is a Pam-like ploy.

There's a difference between being vastly overpaid and being wealthy.

In Texas for the 2008 Presidential election only 28 of 254( 11% ) counties and 11 of the States 32 congressional districts went for Obama but because some of those counties Include the Cities of Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio Obama received 28% of the Vote of a approximately 50 % statewide voter turnout.

This in a state where Democrats are scared to post party affiliation on advertisements on local & statewide elections. Ironically lack of party affiliation is a dead give away as a Democrat

I saw two O/B stickers on cars yesterday, bringing The Heiress home from her cousin's birthday party, on I-87.  One car was driven by a black man, and his family was with him.  The second was driven by a young twentysomething woman who probably doesn't have a job yet.

We were out garage saleing yesterday and saw absolutely no O/B signs and probably 50 R/R signs.
I do know where one O/B sign is at but it's the only one I've seen here in the important swing state of Florida.  :-)
