Prior to the Dem convention, I had not seen a single Romney-Ryan bumper sticker or campaign sign. I'd seen maybe 4-5 Obama bumper stickers in the past year but they were all from 2008. After the Dem convention, I saw 2 Obama 2012 stickers but still no Romney stickers.
After the first debate, Romney stickers/signs were sprouting up like dandelions in Spring. Now I literally see them every time I leave the house. Obama stickers remain rare however... finally saw my first Obama sign, a lone sign stuck in the middle of a dozen Romney signs as you approached the polls where early voting was going on. It seems like a lot of people came out of the closet for Romney after that first debate. |

Which is the other weird part of that, the suburban county I live in is about as red as you can get. You'd do better with "Communist Baby Raping Party" next to your name than you would a "D" but still no Romney signs until after the debate. |

Quoted: In 2008 here the sign ratio was roughly 5:1 McCain - Obama This time it's easily 30:1 Romney - Obama I think you can safely call Georgia for Romney. We might even push a 75-25 split. here just west of Philly - we were 9:1 Obama in 08 I'd say it's at least 7:1 Romney this time around..... I doubt we'll get Philly, but they're saying the 'burbs may be in play..... here's to hoping

I drove around the Marietta Whole Foods last weekend and out of 100+ cars I saw only one political sticker and it was RP. We went to the zoo over the weekend which is smack dab in Grant Park (most liberal area of Ga.) and I made a point to look at every car and yard and out of 1k+ cars i saw 0 Obama stickers and I only saw one yard sign. |

Nobody likes to be or be associated with a failure. It bodes well.

Here is the 'odd' I've noticed. There are a few more Romney signs than Obama signs in my part of MI. Where I do see several dem/soc/com/marx/libtard signs it is usually the same 4-5 signs and rarely is there an Obama sign with them. Another thing, I see dem/soc/com/marx/libtard signs sprouting up in unmowed vacant lots and abandoned homes. Romney & Republican signs are in front of homes that cross the economic scale. |
| I've noticed most of the people supporting dems for local offices either have Romney signs or no presidential signs at all. Most of the Mexicans around here are voting Romney as well. I noticed that a former friend that was balls deep with Obama before is now supporting Romney too. If I could bring myself to speak to him I'd ask what changed, but he disgusts me too much. |
