Here is the SW corner of NH, I've seen only one Romney sign, and that's been up since before the primary. No lawn signs that I've seen, and one house that once had a huge (4' x 8') sign some time back has none now.

Not on the bumper though, on the side window. Way to commit. I don't think I even saw a single Romney sign (in my county) before the primary earlier this month. Tons of Ron Paul signs. There is a loud Ron Paul contingent here. Either that or one guy with waaaaaaay too much time on his hands.

Not ONE Romney sign at all. But there are a bunch of Ron Paul signs here.

Interesting that I don't see any signs for Feinstein, but I almost busted my gut laughing at a crop of Orly signs!

Just the thought of Dianne sweeping the primary and Orly in Second place has me stocking up on the popcorn! Imagine the debate...

wannabe Cal Senators on the sample ballot? There had to be 20 repubs named. That's where I saw Orly's the first time. Then the sign. I felt like Alice in alternate America.

I figured Orly would be living in a cardboard box or under her birth rock by now with all the fines slapped on her by the courts. I guess it proves that anyone can at least run for office still.

Which is as red of a state as they come, and I've seen no signs or bumper stickers. It could be, though, that most of the Republicans around here are Baptists, and Baptists think very little of Mormons.

I try!

EDIT: and that probably had to do with that little massacre by Mormons in Utah of 111 people that were Baptists in wagons on the way to settle in the West.

I'm just guessing, but that probably fueled a lot of bad blood. I know, that's a surprise that it would cause hard feelings.

I seen only small town stuff. I think people are sick of both sides. Most the dems I know are voting Obama but not thrilled. It was a lot for Obama to take on, too much to clean up with zero help from the other side, more like them trying to trip him up to fail.

A few weeks ago this topic occurred to me. Zero here in rural North Carolina- albeit 20 miles away from Duke University (so a relatively liberal area of the state). My neighbor who had a Vote For the Amendment (banning gay marriage in our state constitution) yard sign up (and a McCain sign up in 2008) doesn't have a sign up for Rmoney yet. Republicans are old school Southern conservative around here, though. I don't think Rmoney's arrogance, Mormonism and/or Yankeedom will play well down here until they have no other choice but to get behind anybody-but-Obama. BTW, lots of Obama bumperstickers around. No yard signs yet, though.

That seems like an inciting racial hatred type of sticker. I think anyone racist enough to put that sticker on their car, needs to be arrested. I think its a crime to incite racial hatred. There was a guy in Houston TX arrested for having a noose on his truck, I saw that on the news a few years ago.
