Today I counted *54* Obama-Biden lawn signs
in only about 14 blocks in my neighborhood, and only one McCain sign.

:woohoo:

It's a great neighborhood.

9. We win.
There are knuckledraggers and troglodytes and fundies here, of course (that awful "Obama is an Arab" woman is from Lakeville, a suburb), but the population centers are strongly Dem. The wingnuts are mainly in the 'burbs.

5. Here in La Crosse, WI I see at least 2 Obama signs for each McCain sign.
Yesterday the Obama HQ was out of signs and was looking to get another 4-500 signs from Madison and there is a waiting list for them.

Here is my sign:


It's great to hear the support as I ride--the horns honking and the people shouting "Go Obama!"

8. Glad to hear it! There's 9 in my neighborhood and NO McCain signs.
The Obama signs keep getting stolen though periodically. I'm lucky mine didn't get stolen while I was on vacation. I planned ahead and have a backup ready to go when the first one is stolen. :)

19. in GA
drove around my neighborhood and it was leaning Obama, but not by much. Funny thing is, this is a neighborhood that they expected to win for sure.

Old south.

Of course, we have been out of Obama signs for months here -- I only got one for volunteering and still I paid for it.

Still, my friend and I drove past anyone with a McKKKaint sign and shook our heads. What could they be thinking? Poor things. They must not get out much.

I miss Los Angeles right now. I'll never forget when * got re-elected and I was so depressed -- I was driving down the freeway and saw a house where the owner had spelled out in lights on his roof -super big - "IMPEACH BUSH". The pain in my heart for all the wrongs being committed in our names was lessened just a bit seeing that.

whoever that was, thank you. You helped me through a rough patch:-)

And here's to good times, finally.
