In my area, I say, The yards that DON'T have the McCain signs are really pro-Obama

and there's a heck of a lot more of them and I actually think I am right on the money.

1. Someone on TV recently said there might be a "reverse Bradley effect"

in play. Neighborhoods where people might put say they're voting for McSame and actually pull the lever for O.

2. That is very intriguing...

...and I could see it happening.

People who are so disgusted with McCain and even more disgusted with Palin--who are just fed
up with the Republican warmongering neocon psychos--pulling the lever for Obama.

I could truly see it.

Many Republicans are very upset with their party, but not enough to leave the party. They're
very proud of their party and its history--and of the values that the current administration
has trashed to smithereens. I bet many of these Republicans wouldn't admit to voting for Obama,
because they are still loyal to the Republicans--but they know McCain is an old crazy loon.

Wow, that's very interesting...kinda makes me feel all toasty inside. :loveya:

3. We've never put up signs in our yard, we're in VA and of course, are for Obama.

4. There is a belief that some people might actually put up an Obama sign if a neighbor puts one up.

They may be hesitant or afraid to do it on their own, but seeing other neighbors put up Obama signs give the Obama candidacy a seal of approval in their neighborhood and may give them the courage to do the same.

5. I agree, not many here.

I have all the local & State signs in my yard but I never could get Obama. They never got any in and the few houses that sent away for them had them stolen. Someone said they were going to print some locally and charge five dollars. I am going to try and see if that ever happened .
