NY's a lock for Obama. It's a waste of Romney funds to try to win this state.
Better to spend the same money in Ohio instead, or PA or FL or somewhere. We won't see local ads, either, just national ads on cable and such. |

Of course there are a couple Obama zealots. One has his yard plastered with Obama signs, and the other drives around in one of those Toyota VW Minibus ripoffs painted flat black with the "FORWARD" slogan/logo hand painted down each side.

This time in 2008 my area was full of Obama signs. My old street had an Obama sign on almost every front lawn. This time... NOT A SINGLE ONE. And while I'm not in a fully libtarded area of Illinois I don't see the same hope n change wave. Those people have jumped off the bandwagon. I firmly believe all of this polling showing OBama way ahead is bullshit and just designed to keep people on our side from voting. No coincidence that these polls showing that Obama has it already wrapped up came out just when early voting starts. Don't fucking believe the MSM polls, this is just their latest dirty trick. |

Here in the counties west of Atlanta, I see very few stickers on vehicles, and even fewer yard signs.
Georgia is a firmly red state so I'm not concerned Obama will take Georgia. But it does seem odd that there is almost no outward indications that an election is just over a month away. |

If you go into Syracuse then you will see 'O' bumper stickers aplenty, of course they are on Toyota's and more often than not next to one of the many flavors of LGBT stickers. I grocery shop in Cicero and have only seen one Obama sticker in the parking lot in recent months, and I think it was an old one. The community where I live you won't see the stickers or the signs. I have not seen any political signs in relation to the Presidential campaign, aside from a Ron Paul. Up until a couple months ago there was a Gadsden flying in the swamp randomly! There are local candidates like county treasurer and the congressional candidates signs up in two yards, but again, not many at all. The big place to stick the signs was down at the intersections, but now there are none. Not even the local candidates.

There are always lots of signs in NH: 4 years ago my (70% Republican voting) town was plastered in Obama signs, this time round there are no Obama signs, lots of regular sized signs (for Mitt and candidates for governor, house, senate, and local office) and a few large signs for each of Mitt, the house candidate, and the Governor candidate.
Obama even spoke at our high school a few weeks ago and there were no Obama signs and lots of Mitt signs.
