So I went to visit my parents today. As I've said before they live in what I would consider every-town America. A place small enough that when you go shopping you'll probably encounter at least one person that you know but still large enough that not everyone knows your business.
During this trip I encountered eight Romney signs and NO Obama signs. During my last trip, just before the first debate, I don't remember seeing any signs.
On the way home I paid attention to where the signs were located.
One was in front of a very small (970 sq ft), older wood home built in 1946.
One was in front of a small brick home build in 1972.
One was in front of a medium-sized wood home build in 1983.
One was in front of a large, very old wood farm house built in 1920.
One was in front of a buffet and fried chicken restaurant.
Three were near the shoulder of the road.
I got the construction dates from an online tax website.
No one jumped out of the bushes, but maybe the debates did convince some people of something.

I'm going to drive through my neighborhood Sunday and take a picture of every Romney/Ryan and Obama/Biden sign.
There are no Obama/Biden signs.
-
Four years ago there were some Barack Milhous signs in the big city; I dunno, maybe 50 or so in a town of 22,000 people.
This year, there's none. Zero.
In fact the only (D) yard-signs one sees around here (again, in the big city) are four of them stuck in the grass in front of the Kerrey for U.S. Senate office rented at a strip-mall on an out-of-the-way street.
Bumper-stickers touting Barack Milhous?--I've seen only two motor vehicles with them the past several months; one car with a woman who imagines Barack Milhous shares her ethnic heritage, and the other car driven by the usual affluent white government-worker liberal.
There were, uh, more than that four years ago. They weren't all over the place, but they were out there, and visible.
-
Another thing I noticed about the candidates for local races was that a ton of them has switched from dem to repub. For years in this part of the state the local elections were usually won by dems. It didn't matter that people voted for the R in the national election. Now even the local dem incumbents are switching party affiliation.
-
Now even the local dem incumbents are switching party affiliation.
Another sign--seriously--that the Old South is more forward-looking, more progressive, than the tired old rusty blue states up north.
-
In '08, the Obamessiah stickers were everywhere in this state. Very few McCain/Palin stickers anywhere.
Now, it runs maybe 60/40 Obamessiah to RSquared. Also, the total number of the Obamessiah stickers out there has greatly dimished.

Hope ya got a large memory in your cam, Chris. People are really startin' to bring 'em out around here. Used to be the only signs ya saw were that loser Ron Paul. Those people are shameless around here. Shitload of libertarians, doncha know.
-
We noticed here the other day that there are NO Obama signs anywhere. Not even on the roads. I see tons of Romney signs. I thought maybe they cut back on signs to save money or something.

I wish I had one of those dash cams. It would take less effort to film all of them while I drove down the street and put a counter on the screen. :lmao:
-
I have seen 3 lawn signs and 3 stickers for obama total.
There's 4 million people in the 3 county area, which includes Detroit. I haven't been in Detroit in years so I can't attest to the number of obama signs there.
-
While at my parents' I needed to do something on my dad's computer. As I was sitting at the desk I noticed that he had a photo of Mitt and Ann propped up on the desk. He said he had received it with a fundraiser request. He said they also got a fundraiser request from Obama's bunch with a little black and white photo of Obama. He said it was in the trash somewhere.
-
I don't see many yard signs here, but have seen a lot more Romney/Ryan bumper stickers over the last few days. Very rarely see anything pro-Obama. I see a lot of those NOPE stickers with the Obama symbol through the O.
FYI - I live in a swing state. Guess it's a good sign. :)

So, I take it that it's a RSquared sign, then? :tongue: O-)

The only Obama signs I've sen here are on the sides of two Cadillacs...one red and one black...both are owned by moonbat black women running for city council. One has the "Obama Family Exhibit" in her house.
-
Someone has been running over the Rs signs along the road at night and someones been standing them up during the day, closer to trees I've noticed. :-)
There are a lot of bumper and window stickers here. Around 50/50 I'd say. With no exception the O stickers have been on racist 47%ers cars, unlike the last time.
-
I had to go a little out of town today to take a wounded bird of some kind that the wife had rescued to some sort of wild animal place. In that area I counted two Romney signs and one Obama signs. That means int he last two days I have seen ten Romney signs and only one Obama sign.
If we use the methods that TruthisAll (or whatever his name is) use to determine the winner based on polls, I would think this means that Romney should win the election by around a gazillion and four votes.
-
I'm bumping this to keep the DUmmies informed and to announce that over the last two days I've seen six more Romney signs and one Romney bumper sticker. No Obama signs or stickers. TruthInAll would say this is a landslide.
One thing that I did notice that might ought to be of some concern to the DUmmies is that several of the signs were in front of mom & pop type businesses.

On the way to the range Tuesday, I saw 5 Romney yard signs one BS and nothing for obama.
Just noticed something. The spellchecker has obama included in it now. :argh: :mad:

I gave up on watching eBay for the "Steve Dawes for City Council" sign.
:???:

Here at Moonbat Ground Zero NH, (aka P_town North) I spotted two new Romney signs today. And there are two former Obie homes which have turned to Romney (both have young children / grandchildren and graying hippie types ). Obie was in state for a reason today but I believe he will be about as successful as Algore. Gravity has the same effect on all things, in Obie's case I think he has yet to reach terminal velocity, but has breached the zenith of his popularity; and, is on the downward leg picking up speed. It could become a McGovern, Dukakis, or Carter style election. Obie and friends will need to be put on suicide watch election eve and plenty of batons, tasers, straight jackets and Thorazine will be needed. They will not go quietly into the good night. :fuelfire:

I'm still keeping track of the signs I see.
Sunday and today I saw a today of 3 Romney signs. No Obama signs. Bumper stickers must not be a big thing around here.

'Course, a bunch of buckshot may be needed for their followers.

Went for a ride yesterday and I actually saw a sign that said
"DEMOCRATS FOR ROMNEY/RYAN"
-
Broken Bow, Nebraska on Sunday 21 OCT 2012. Along Highway 2 I saw eight Romney signs in yards, one large billboard with SOS: Stop Obama Socialism. I also saw one Kerry sign...
No signs for Barry.
Along the drive from west to east Nebraska? About the same in every town I passed through. I didn't see one Barry sign.

I was starting to wonder where the Hell you were, dutch. :tongue: :whistling: O-)

Went over to the west side of the state where catpiss (catbyte) said that obama signs are all over the place. Well. I put on about 400 miles and the ratio was aprox. 10 to 1 in Romney's favor.
I saw a lot of signs that read "Take back out country", with no mention of a candidate or any other signage around it.
From what I saw. MI is not going to go for obama.
-
Just another update.
In the last couple of days I've seen a Romney bumper sticker, a Romney billboard, and a yard with 5 Romney signs. The yard with the Romney signs maybe should be a concern to the Democrats at DemocratUnderground.com as that particular neighborhood has been predominantly populated by minorities.
I still haven't seen an Obama sign; however, when I spoke with my dad today he said he actually encountered a genuine Obama supporter in the wild. It's been over a year since I've encountered an admitted one in the wild.
-
Another update. I saw one Romney sign today, and my wife says that she saw on the news that a black guy somewhere has put up a billboard or sign that (if I understood her correctly) mentions Martin Luther King and supports Romney.
edit: Apparently my wife was correct. Don't tell her that I said that. Here is a link that I found: Texas billoard (http://www.inquisitr.com/380235/martin-luther-king-jr-as-a-republican-texas-billboard-stirs-controversy/)
Also, I finally saw an Obama sign. Romney is toast!!!!
-

That's ominous.
It shows that just a week before the election, Barack Milhous is recrudescing.
I hope you don't see any more.
-
Saw one Romney sticker at work, and one at the grocery store, and one on line in front of me at the drive thru. One Obama sticker on a truck.
This is in a Blue county.

I've seen a few O/B 'tampons,' and about the same number of RSquared stickers.
-
All of our yard signs are for state senator and the Republican challenger to the US House rep. Both Republicans, and no other sign at all. Today, I did see a RR yard sign, and it was not vandalized. I saw a cute sticker on a car yesterday, it said
OMG
WTF
with the O being king zero's logo.
I haven't seen a single OB yard sign.
-
I have seen 3 Obama Signs in Fayetteville, NC. :banghead: :panic: This has legs, RMoney is Toast!
/DUmode off :rofl: :lol:

I was at a convenience store this morning getting some coffee and overheard two guys talking about Obamacare and how bad it was. I said "Well, we can correct that in about a week". "I sure hope so", was the reply. I usually don't hear much in the way of political talk when I'm out and about, but for some reason I'm hearing more and more lately. I get the sense that most are ready to vote and get this show on the road.

You were supposed to applaud and instantly change your vote. :-)
ETA I'm up to 4 O/B signs and 4876358 R/R signs. R&R are toast! :whistling:
-
I voted today. I almost voted for Obama because I did see that one road sign which means that Rmoney is toast, but then Rove jumped out of the bushes and told me that I may as well just vote for Romney because it is an electronic voting machine.

I would have voted for obama just to watch the counter click for Romney.
-
Well, I'm leaning Obama, because for the last four years, he's been referring to me as "the enemy." And his fans have insulted me continuously, calling me a stupid, redneck, racist, mouthbreathing teabagger ****stick repuke anti-woman neanderthal. That convinces me.
Plus, "Willard Mittens RMoney" and all. You know.

Just picking a thread to share a DUmmie's post:

Another gem posted by my aunt on FB
"IF ROMNEY GETS ELECTED PRESIDENT, HE VOWS TO DONATE HIS SALARY TO CHARITY'
"IF OBAMA GETS RE-ELECTED PRESIDENT, HE VOWS TO DONATE YOURS."
Sadly, it got no recs.

2008....every "black" house and every "black" car around here had Obama signs and stickers....I've seen one yard sign and it's in the yard of a "white" yankee.
The moonbat black woman uptown doesn't count....she has had Obama signs up and on her car for 4 or 5 years now.

This will be my final update because I don't have any traveling planned until after the election.
I had to make a trip out of town today to a little town called Waycross, Georgia. It was further than I wanted to travel, but they had planned on inducing labor on my nephew's wife today, and I had told them I'd try to be there for the birth of their first child. They decided to wait until Tuesday AFTER I had already made the trip. Regardless, it allowed me to continue my sign counting.
Based on what I've seen today I believe Rmoney really is toast. I didn't see any bumper stickers for either candidate, but I saw three (3) Obama signs. In contrast to this huge number of signs for Obama (3), I only saw thirty two (32) for Romney. Of those 32, two were a bit smaller than a full sized sheet of plywood. One filled up the rear half of a transfer truck trailer. And seven were advertising a "Take Back America" Romney/Ryan rally being held tomorrow at the Waycross Motor Speedway.
Based on what I've seen today Romney better get out his crying towel because in Waycross he's going down in a blaze of victory.

How many OB bumper stickers do you see on post? I see several everyday. It's kinda annoying...

I see at least one to two a day. From what I can tell of the occupants, it looks like they are the govt. employees more than the soldiers, but occasionally I will see one on what is obviously a soldier's vehicle, and that surprises me. Talk about conflict of interest! :thatsright: I don't understand how they can support him. Of course, I remember being in the military when Slick Willie was in charge (deployed us more than the 5 previous presidents combined while reducing the size of the army :banghead:). So maybe I'm just a little jaded when it comes to Dem presidents.

I see many more than just a couple a day in the CSS community... Take of that what you will

I wasn't going to update this any more, but I had a change of mind.
I had to go to town today and took a route that I've taken in a couple of weeks. There were Romney yard signs everyone. In front of big businesses. In front of small businesses. In front of large houses. In front of small houses. I even saw a new billboard and a "Mitt" bumper sticker. It's like people have been on a Romney frenzy.
I did see one Obama sign in front of a union meeting hall.
-
That sounds like my neighborhood.

In a bit or irony I was reading this post after having just read this LTE in the local fish wrap
http://www.seacoastonline.com/articles/20121103-OPINION-211030315
and then the same LTE later popped up on a friend's FB page. All of this only served to remind me that there are a lot of people who, to use one of Frank's favorite words, are discombobulated when confronted by those in the military who do not hold the same 'right wing' view which they assume all in the military hold.
Having served in the draft era military I have never been under any such illusion. This letter seems to confirm what I have believed right along, that not everyone who wears a uniform is aligned with the Republican cause or even the Republic for that matter. I believe to think otherwise is delusional.
