I went yard sailing today and drove around for hours. I noticed I did not see one Obama sign. I'm thinking this is very strange. I did see an unusual amount of Romney yard signs. So I was wondering has anyone seen any Obama yard signs? I have never seen anything like it on any election.

There are plenty of them around here... odd, because they are in the minority through most of this city.

Alpine Valley Resort is etched in my brain!!!
That reminds me. I did read in the local paper (small beach community) that some residents were having there Romney signs stolen. One lady even called the police. First I though "over a ten dollar sign" but then it was reported it was not the first time but the third time.
Bit seriously, speaking of campaign signs- after Missoula we went through western Montana, into Washington, down through Oregon and back to California. The campaigns signs I remember seeing most on that trip were anti-Obama signs in Oregon. Other than Portland and Eugene, that's a very conservative state- maybe the epitome of a socially divided state here in the U.S.
About a week later we got a follow up story, complete with footage from the homeowner's camera, of a car stopping in front of the house and someone getting out and stealing the sign.
There is a local candidate that I'd like to support with a yard sign because I live on a fairly busy street but for the same reason I'm afraid it might invite vandalism. Possibly by my next door neighbor, who has a sign for the opponent.
LOL......
Hopefully they caught them. It sucks how some people have no respect for others.

Frankly, the days of lawn signs are waning. They invite vandalism and they're eyesores. And they create a bad vibe among neighbors.
Now that we have Twitter and Facebook and forums.pearljam.com we can make our political views known without inviting teenagers to throw rocks at our houses.

The only Romney thing I've see is the "Mitt Romney Dog Shit Bags" they're selling at the local pet store.
For myself I never use or want political candidate's signs or stickers.

Where do you live?
Even when I had a house that had a visible lawn... I've always found those signs to be kinda tacky. And pointless.
Florida
OK, and where in Florida? I'm guessing not Key West.
Well considering you live in an extremely "red" area, that might explain why you see no Obama signs in your neighborhood.
I go to key west at least twice a year. Will be there from December 24th to January 3rd this year.
You can watch a video of me driving from Miami to Key West in my signature.

What with social media as mentioned, I think the physical vandalism has become a digital version.
Here, I've seen nothing in terms of signs, bumperstickers - except for one Romney/Ryan sticker on a car. Surprising, in this particular area of LA.
Great video! :thumbup:
that said, i am in the suburbs of st louis and i have seen more obama signs around than romney ones, but i have seen a lot more todd akin signs than claire mccaskill ones :shock: :shock:

West palm? the Romney signs are popping up everywhere...but thats near palm beach (around the corner form Trumps pad), and to be expected.
To add I drove around lost this weekend on north Palm Beach Island and while trying to find my way I could not find not one Obama sign while seeing 5 Romney ones. I also dropped my daughter of in Royal Palm Beach not nearly as upscale as the island...I saw 9 Obama signs to 2 Romney. What do I gather from that is the wealthy seem to prefer Romney while the middle of the road voters seem to prefer Obama.
It was encouraging to actually see my first Obama sign.

We are hunting for houses and saw very few Presidential yard signs period ...
undecided voters or apathy?
Plenty of Obama signs bumper stickers here at home.
From what I saw in Philly--was also there a month ago--this is the breakdown that I saw:
The more middle class, blue collar neighborhoods (Conshohocken, Manayunk, some parts of Nova): Obama
The neighborhoods that we more upscale areas (Bryn Mar, some parts of Nova): Romney, but with some Obama signs. A lot of these homes were gated, on beautiful streets, I even saw one with a few par 3 holes on the property.
