Nya nya nya nya nya. Look what we have.Last edited Wed Oct 24, 2012, 07:51 PM USA/ET - Edit history (2)
So a local OFA guy was driving by our house and noticed that we have lots of Dem signs but we didn't have an Obama sign (ours hadn't arrived in the mail yet). He rang the doorbell and asked if we want one or two.
SURE! He said he'd be back the next day with two of them. We live on a corner and get a lot of traffic - so one for each side of our property. Sounds good to me. 
This is what I saw when I came home: 
They are frickin' HUGE! 
Yeah, I know, I need to do some yard work. Gimme a break. I've been on the road for most of the last three weeks. And yeah, I've been a critic of the President and a thorn in the side of a few DUers (I got banned from the BO group after just two posts  ). But that doesn't mean I'm going to let him lose. I'll be at the local office this weekend working the phone bank and/or doing some door knocking again.
So, suck it RW neighbors! Our signs are bigger than yours and our guy is gonna kick your guy's ass! 
Edited to add. Our normal sized sign showed up in the mail a day later. We gave it to my parents.

One of the perks of being at a corner that gets decent traffic.
I don't have any signs because my house is close to the dead end of a road, so there's barely any traffic. |

35. My first two yard signs were stolen...

...and then I wised up. I put up a third sign with a sign next to it stating that I would donate $250.00 to the Obama-Biden campaign every time a sign was stolen from my yard. That was ten days ago and my sign hasn't been touched!
