It's like overnight, Romney signs everywhere in my Oklahoma City neighborhood like wild mushrooms.

(Not that I didn't expect it.)

The best one is a handmade sign, red paint on about a 3x3-ft piece of plywood, stuck up in the front yard on two posts--

FOR
GOD AND
COUNTY

ROMNEY

Funny this is--I think the people that live there are an elderly Asian family, and the house is right across the street from the city's Reform Jewish temple.

I can't wait until this election is over....

or bumper stickers. For that matter, haven't seen that many yard signs for Obama, either, but see more Obama stickers on cars than I do Rmoney stickers.

I'll be glad when the election is over as well (and when Obama is elected to a second term).

Great idea. I always said I wouldn't vote to elect Romney dogcatcher but maybe they are trying to say your county needs a new one.

Pukes love getting something free. They just don't want you to get anything free.

grow really well in cow poop, so I suppose BS would work just as well. None in your yard though, right?

You might want to collect them all as storm litter, save them in a pile under your house in case people in New Jersey want them back.

And honestly it's not been nearly as bad as it was 4 years ago. I suspect it's because this city and state are overrun with fundies who view Romney as a cult member. They'll vote for him but not as enthusiastically as they would a Protestant.

Romney is not exactly sweating Oklahoma these days (or my state of Idaho for that matter). It would make more sense for them to contribute to Romney's campaign and have them spend money elsewhere in swing states where it would do the most "good". However, I prefer what's happening -- more paint, more wood, more time and money spent building signs and not phone volunteering for their candidate. Is this what's called "reviving a healthy horse"? Nice!
