[1-Old-Man]

1. West Virginia: Romney

[SammyWinstonJack]

2. San Antonio Texas North East side....rMoney

[NMDemDist2]

3. romney here, but it won't matter

which is why i don't care. NM is blue where the people are, just red out here in the sticks

[Arkansas Granny]

4. Arkansas-Romney. One yard sign, two bumper stickers.

Lots of signs for local races. A lot of people will vote for Romney, but I don't see any enthusiasm about it.

[onethatcares]

5. northern part of St.Petersburg FL

called Pinellas Park I saw more r/r , southern st pete and surrounding areas, more OBAMA.

[Aerows]

13. Pinellas Park for Romney

That's no surprise LOL.

My friend lived there and she gave us directions to her house. It was quite memorable. "If you reach the house that has a bathtub on the front lawn, you've gone too far. Take a right when you see the toilet sitting on the corner." There were further landmarks like the two cars on blocks and the house with the shutters falling off.

[onethatcares]

65. yeah, and the amazing thing

is the locals actually think that rmoney would give a crap about them.

We both know what the basic political motivation is there.

[Aerows]

66. No question

Stupidity at it's finest. It's like the dog show of being an idiot.

[dem1977]

6. Central rural MO, more Obama signs then in 08

[justiceischeap]

7. Other: Bumper stickers/car magnets "Obama 2012"

Of course, I'm in one of those states that don't matter in the Presidential election. It's a lock for the President.

[pintobean]

8. Romney, in a blue area of Missouri

but, I'm not seeing very many of either. I have a neighbor with six Obama signs. If I count them individually, my answer would be Obama.

[catbyte]

9. Grand Rapids, MI more Obama just like 2008

We went blue, but I will be surprised if we do it again. Last time was 1964, but who knows?

[Aerows]

10. I'm not seeing either one

Of course, in my neighborhood, the POA prohibits them. In other areas, though, where they are allowed, I still don't see either - just signs for local candidates for various positions.

[frazzled]

23. Me either

Of course, I live in a big city, so you don't see yard signs altogether. But I went last weekend to visit my parents in Indiana, and I was surprised at how few signs I saw. Really, almost none. A couple for Obama, who won't win there anyway. So I don't think evidence of yard signs is dispositive.

Are people just not wanting to advertise their leanings this election season? And if so, why?

(Disclosure: I wear a small "Team 2012" enameled Obama pin on my coat lapel, but it's pretty subtle.)

[leftofcool]

11. Only two yard signs in our area of Kentucky, both for Robme of course.

[stuckinodi]

12. 10 to 1 Rmoney in Dayton, OH : ( n/t

[peace13]

14. Romney in Ohio. We have all the crazies.

They have no regard for the law and stick these things everywhere. Saw one Romneybot sticking a sign in the right of way, one foot from the road and then hop back in her SUV. I pulled up beside her and rolled down my window and asked her if she had just set that sign. She nodded yes behind her window glass. She did not roll her window down and ignored me when I told her that the sign was not in a legal spot. She put her car in gear and rushed away.

Never fear, I would return in the morning and remove it. Praise the lord...it had vanished before I got there. I think there are many of us who are sick of these lawless folks.

[w8liftinglady]

15. Arlington,Tx... lots of RMoney....but

quite a few Obama signs at UT prof homes....and one humble Condo.

[tammywammy]

63. In my part of Arlington I don't really see any yard signs

Well, there's plenty by the courthouse where people are voting. Even there I didn't see a lot of Romney signs.

I'm seeing more Obama bumper stickers than Romney.

[Cairycat]

16. Presidential Race - more Obama

but there's hotly contested Statehouse races here, into which the R superpacs are throwing a lot of money - there's about equal numbers of those signs.

[DCKit]

17. Romney/Ryan, on the lawns of poor white trailer trash. For real.

Teh stoopidity, it buuuuuurrrrnnnns.

[Joe Bacon]

18. I'm amazed at the Gary Johnson signs here in Los Angeles.

I've seen a couple Obama signs. There was ONE Romney sign that got torn up. But I've seen more signs for Gary Johnson, and they're on the same lawns that had Ron Paul signs during the primary.

[a la izquierda]

19. Ohio, about 50/50 in my town.

But it's a really small, very wealthy town.

[onenote]

20. More Obama, but

In my northern virginia neighborhood there are still more Obama signs than Romney, but just barely. The number of Obama signs is comparable to 2008, the number of Romney signs is considerably greater than there were McCain signs in 2008.

[Scuba]

21. Romney 5-1 here in east-central Wisconsin....

... as the Republicans give away free signs (or pay you to put one in your yard) while simultaneously stealing Democratic signs and intimidating Democratic voters through a variety of threats and actions.

[justabob]

22. more Romney

in Dallas, but I live on the outside edge of a wealthy, conservative neighborhood. There are not as many Romney signs as there were McCain signs last time around though. In my more liberal neighborhood, there are a few Obama signs and no Romney. Bumper stickers are more evenly split around town.

side note....I also saw a Bush Quayle sticker on a *new* car the other day... WTF?

[B Calm]

24. Here in Indiana and up until recently I was seeing

more Obama signs. But within the last few weeks I'm seeing more Romney signs. But I see less signs for president than I ever have seen in past elections!

[HappyMe]

25. I have only seen

1 Romney and 1 Obama sign. No bumper stickers, except for those goofy stick family ones.

[Savannahmann]

26. I live in Georgia

Georgia is going Romney. Do we expect Georgia to do anything else?

[Arctic Dave]

27. I have seen just a handfull of mittens signs for our entire district.

But I have seen way more Obama bumperstickers.

Ron Paul has supporters still. LOL

[nevergiveup]

28. In this western Chicago suburb

there are 100 Romney signs for every 1 Obama sign. There are Romney yard signs everywhere. I have seen maybe 6 Obama yard signs and a couple of them were homemade.

[luckykate54]

29. AZ What do you expect?

I wish I didn't live in this bigot state. I made a huge mistake coming here. Jan glug glug Btewer. Pearce pushing 1070, Mc Cain & Kyl our great senators?, and The worst sherriff in America Joe Arpaio.

[LP2K12]

30. Romney

In Florida. Pasco (red) county. Lots of Obama bumper stickers though.

[CreekDog]

31. Neither, does that mean Obama is going to lose my neighborhood?

which he won with nearly 80% of the vote in 2008?

yard signs mean shit.

[LP2K12]

32. Exactly.

Even when we do buy them, they get stolen.

This year the office was out of them so I stuck to bumper stickers...which people still removed from my car.

[1-Old-Man]

41. No, but what it will tell you is something about the Republican's ground game

Someone got to those people and made those signs available to them, made them want to put them up. That wasn't done with a TV ad, it was person to person contact somewhere. This is in fact important, there are many parts of the country that have been essentially abandoned by both major parties and just a knock on the door or a sign in the yard might be just enough to make a difference.

That said I'm glad you live in a democratically safe neighborhood, your's will cancel out mine, where he probably won't win despite the 4 votes this household will deliver.

[CreekDog]

45. No it tells you NOTHING about the ground game, it tells you about signs

when I worked in Nevada in 2008, we didn't hand out signs, but we contacted every one of our voters and staffed every precinct in the region. we had a ton of people a ton of ground game and won the Reno area by over 10 percent.

the McCain ground game, though he had signs all over, was nonexistent at the polls, in the precinct walking and ultimately, in the results (in an area won by Bush just 4 years prior).

the signs mean squat because they are just signs.

and the Obama campaign then and probably now said that they want people and voters --NOT SIGNS.

now back to your regularly scheduled confusion.

[CreekDog]

53. No it will not tell you that

that's utter garbage.

Ask Ron Paul, i've seen more of his signs than anyone else's this year.

[MADem]

33. Neither. Really. The focus in my neck of the woods is on the Warren-Brown race.

Warren outnumbers Brown, but only slightly. In the local (state/city/town) races, GOP signs seem to have a very slight advantage over the Dem ones (that could be, I admit, my rising ire any time I see one).

[PADemD]

34. Romney Yard Signs

I just hope that they won't be flying all over the neighborhood when Hurricane Sandy arrives tomorrow.

[Tree-Hugger]

35. SE PA

We were seeing a lot of Romney initially, but more and more Obama signs have gone up in the past two weeks. There have always been more Obama bumper stickers than Romney. Also, I have seen more homemade Obama signs.

[demwing]

36. Florida here - a bunch of Romney popped up last week

I've heard they are free, whereas the Obama signs are going at $6 each.

[tavernier]

37. romney,

not in many places, but where they are up they have put up not one but a dozen. Strange.

No bumper stickers either way. Four years ago McCain/Palin and Obama were stuck on every car bumper and window in town. This year, nuttin'.

[jackbenimble]

44. I was about to say the same thing.

Mostly the ones who have yard signs at all look like used car lots with an overabundance, all republican. I have seen very few for the Democrats. Sadly even the lady at the end of the street who had a McCaskill sign up is now sign free, don't know what happened to our sign. I have heard though that yard signs are being stolen a lot around here. So either the rethuglicans are stealing rethuglican signs so they can make a big impact by filling their yards with them or the reason I'm not seeing any Democrat signs because they are all being stolen.

[reusrename]

55. very strange...

lots of Romney, and they all went up at once, right after that first debate

it seemed like astroturfing to me at the time, now I'm almost sure of it

(when you do see Obama stuff, it's always bigger and better)

[GoneOffShore]

38. Philadelphia - Obama way over Voldemort

[OmahaBlueDog]

39. Omaha, NE: Romney, however...

Mostly, I see NOTA. I see a lot of yard signs for Senate and for state legislature and other local offices with no presidential sign.

I'd say bumper stickers about even.

[cherish44]

40. Romney but someone keeps stealing Obama signs

My dad has had his stolen twice...there aren't any around town either (small town about 2500 people) there WERE Obama signs but they're gone. Yeah that's their mentality. Steal the election.

[Logical]

42. Romney 10 - 1 in Kansas

[Samjm]

43. CO here

TONS of Romney signs, a handful of Obama signs.

[Motown_Johnny]

46. Romney, but not nearly as many as McCain/Palin signs 4 years ago.

[Tracer]

47. Zero Obama signs. One rMoney sign.

However, in Massachusetts it's all about Warren vs. Brown.

There are a TON of signs for both of them. It's hard to say who has more signs.

I think it's Warren. I hope she wins.

[krawhitham]

48. 7-1 rMoney in Cincinnati

[doni_georgia]

49. I'm in Georgia

So all you see is Romney - but not nearly as many yard signs as 4 years ago.

[CreekDog]

50. Obama campaign stupidly thinks having more votes is more important than having more yard signs

[boxman15]

51. Detroit area - Mostly Obama, a few Romney

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

52. Neither. Only local races here in SW Washington. No bumper stickers either.

[treestar]

54. Northern Delaware

Occasional Rmoney signs, no Obama signs, many local/state race signs.

The Rmoney signs are hopeless and the Obama signs are pretty much not needed. State is in the bag for Obama and only has 3 votes anyway, so nobody at Presidential level worries about it much.

Senator Carper only has a few signs. D Senator, practically does not even have to campaign, a la Joe Biden in 2008 for Senator.

Democratic governor and Democratic representative - their challengers put up some signs.

Really happy to live in such a blue state.

[Dawson Leery]

56. Southern CT, Yard signs for Romneybot, Bumper stickers for Obama.

[GreenPartyVoter]

57. Coastal Maine, more Romney Ryan in my town.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

58. NOVA

More Romney

[RetroLounge]

59. Romney signs had the early lead, but I've seen a LOT more new Obama signs lately

from Wisconsin

RL

[lynne]

60. Rural Northern Virginia - Romney

The quantity and size of the Romney signs increases as you go into counties west and south. Far fewer Obama signs than at less election and hardly any bumper stickers for anyone. Maybe bumper stickers have fallen out of favor as a campaign item?

[retread]

61. New election law? Candidate with most yard signs wins? Is this why I see 2

rMoney signs in the yards of his supporters?

[bigwillq]

62. Not a lot of either

I've seen more signs for state and local offices.

[rollin74]

64. mostly Romney where I am in Nevada

many of the Romney signs are at the edge of large properties and ranches that are no doubt owned by very wealthy people

[AlinPA]

67. W.PA and NW PA
