Here in S.E. PA:
Edited on Sun Apr-20-08 04:26 PM by PCIntern
Lots and lots of Obama bumperstickers and signs on the houses...about a 4:1 ratio for him over Hillary. In Lower Merion a few old standby McCain banners, almost no bumperstickers...these at the homes which always had Republican signs including politicos' houses.

Many people talking Obama...of course it's anecdotal but something seems to be in the wind. Local press saying that Obama leads by 6 points locally, but seems like more. We shall see.

Fair number of people on the fence so they say - unusual here this close to an election.

Intense and hunkering down for the big day. We've never had anything like this before here in PA, that's for sure.

On edit: Lots of Rethugs REALLY PISSED that the Dems thru the Obama candidacy have been able to sign up so many. Bodes poorly for Downticket Rethugs.

Too bad. :sarcasm:

5. Obama has the most commercials by far.
There is usually an Obama ad every commercial break on the local channels. SEIU is also running ads for Obama. Hillary has a lot of ads on too, but not nearly as many.

And of course, they are the best :)

3. Traveling on the Rt. 30 bypass every day...
I mostly see Ron Paul signs. :) There's somebody with a lot of patience and free time around here.

6. Drove through Harrisburg on I-78 a couple weeks ago.
Ron Paul signs on both sides of the highway, every 1/4 mile or so. Almost all of them were the "official" signs. Someone with lots of money and time but very little common sense.

I can't get my hoagies without a lecture. I told him that aliens delivered Arlen Specter to cover up the JFK assasination. He got the point...and the tip.
