Campaign signs

I have a question for you all.

I have noticed that, in my neighborhood, the signs are all about Obama- either pro Obama signs, or the ones that say "NOPE" instead of "HOPE", or "Nobama". I have not seen a single Romney/Ryan sign. The local repubs have candidate support signs, but only negative Obama signs.

I remember in 2008 there were a lot of pro signs for both McCain and Obama, but this round it is a very different lansdscape.

What is is like where you live? I am in a blue state, but a more divided neighborhood north of Seattle.

Has anyone seen any negative signs aimed at Romney/Ryan? Or is that something usually saved for the incumbent?

Where I live I am seeing more of the negative being on bumper stickers vs signage, all negative for Obama.

I have seen Romney/Ryan signs, but not as many as I remember in the past. I attributed it to the outrage the area has expressed in recent election cycles to the litter that remains after the election. Also I know there were many signs stolen and vandalized previously.

I live in a leaning blue state, and I see mostly pro sings (either pro-Obama or pro-Romney).  If I see an anti sign it's usually something about how hope and change is working out.

There are a lot of bumper stickers around here too, my neighbor still has a "Kerry, he's so very" sticker from 2004, lol.

This morning on our walk I saw two houses next door to each other with "nope" signs positioned directly across from the Obama/Biden signs in the yards across the street.  Must make for some fun talk at the mailboxes.

I haven't really seen many yard signs. And we have a sweet new law prohibiting the bazillion signs polluting medians and streets. 

But what I have seen has either been anti-Obama or for Obama. Some actually for Mitt.  Which is kinda telling as to people's (republican's) sentiment- not necessarily for Romney. But rather anyone but Obama.

where i live, I just saw romney signs coming out over this last weekend.  I didn't realize that we had a republican headquarters close by, so we donated yesterday and got our signs.  I'm pretty passionate about this race.  I'm not into the hate thing.  I would never put anti obama signs in my yard.

I live in Portland, so pretty all pro-obama signs everywhere.  I'm really against the anti-anyone signs.  It's useless and makes you look foolish, imo.

I live in Tampa and took a day trip over to Orlando this this weekend.  On the way over we saw a couple Obama billboards. On the way home we saw a couple for Romney. My husband and I both thought it was odd that each sign was only "one way".  Also, I went to Atlanta to visit my in laws and I saw a couple "Obey Obama" signs. Nothing that I noticed for Romney. Not sure what the sign was supposed to mean though. LOL

Lots of Romney. Haven't seen many Obama signs.

We live in the Columbus, OH area and I haven't really seen a lot of signs out in our neighborhood or on the cars. Nothing like their was in the 2004 election. It seemed like there was a lot more Parades with the free car stickers/signs etc in 04'.

I'm in the swing state of Ohio.  I've seen many Romney-Ryan signs, only one "NObama, keep the change" and five or six "Stop the war on coal.  Fire Obama."

I have not seen as many signs, but there are more Romney-Ryan ones in our area.  I have noticed them more in the past wk, probably after the debate.
