    Yeah...fucked up.

    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.

    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.

    Great video! :thumbup:

    yes they do. i had my gore signs stolen and the replacements ripped down. i had my kerry sign ripped in half, part of it stayed on the wooden stake and who knows what happened to the other half. i had an obama sign that i moved closer to my house and someone came up and vandalized that one too. it was too close to my cars and my porch and the thought of someone coming 50 feet up my front yard to deface a sign kind of bothered me. so no signs this year.

    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:

    I am also in Florida. I spend a lot of time in Boca Raton and West palm beach. I havent seen a single Obama sign. My family lives in a pretty ordinary part of Boca, and there are strings of dozens of houses in a row with Romney signs. I was slightly surprised. Butt hen, Obama is the incumbent and I've simply got to wonder if obama suporters really care if little Timmy next door knows if they're going to vote for Obama.

    West palm? the Romney signs are popping up everywhere...but thats near palm beach (around the corner form Trumps pad), and to be expected.

    Palm Beach County Florida in our community of 200 homes I've 2 signs and both were for Romney. I don't think one Obama sign will go up in this upscale area and as someone said in only brings resentment or vandalism. Lots of bumperstickers for both candidates and more to come as this race goes down to the wire.

    For myself I never use or want political candidate's signs or stickers.

    Peace

    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.

    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.
    I agree...
    We are hunting for houses and saw very few Presidential yard signs period ...
    undecided voters or apathy?

    Live in upstate NY, and was just in the Philly suburbs for a wedding.

    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.

    Saw my first campaign sign today...Obama/Biden on a pretty busy road in Haddonfield. First sign I've noted for anyone so far

    My next door neighbor is crazy for yard signs, which is kinda funny cause he barely has a front yard.

    The children were home from school today and tomorrow for this tropical storm Sandy. :evil: Anyway since they were bored I told them whenever the rain stops take the golf cart and drive around our community and try and find ANY Obama signs and take a picture and I'll pay you $10 for each one you find. I'm pretty confident they won't find one in this community in most upscale neighborhoods the Obama signs are few.

    Also to count all the Romney ones too, I've seen 3 so far.

    Very few signs for either candidate in Massachusetts. But that is because neither campaign is spending resources here as the result is not in doubt. Romney will never win another election here in his home state amongst the people who know him best.

    Driving through Virginia it's almost 100% Romney. I figured he had the state locked up until I visited Richmond where the tides turned.

    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.

    He is so well liked that people are stealing signs to keep as collector's items!

    Yeah, you can't be stealing signs... up to $2500 in fines AND a felony
